Country of Origin: Japan Country of Publication: Japan Abstract: The outline of the history of radiation research in Japan is written in connection with the names of researchers. Yoshio Nishina was a pioneer, who derived the Klein-Nishina formula for the scattering of hard X-ray by free electrons. In 1935, the first nuclear experiment laboratory was constructed in the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research. Two cyclotrons, 26 in and 60 in pole face diameter, anda high voltage Cockcroft-Walton type ion accelerator were installed. Irradiation of insects and plants with fast neutrons was attempted to examine the biological effect. In August, 1945, atomic bombs exploded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. early March, 1954, In 1950, radioisotopes were available. Bikini accident occurred. In One fishing vessel was contaminated by radioactive fallout, and to investigate the effect of radioactivity, a committee consisted of investigators of physics, chemistry, medicine, biology, fisheries and geophysics was organized. The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute was established in June, 1956. Several institutions for the peaceful use of atomic energy were established. The hybrid spark chamber to image the distribution of . beta..-emitting isotopes on a plane surface was constructed in Nagoya University. As for the national project on food irradiation, ‘one laboratory has played the role in irradiation techniques. Researches on radiation chemistry in universities, governmental and commercial organizations have been progressing steadily, and the machines for nanosecond to picosecond pulse radiolysis are working.; Major Descriptors: *A-BOMB SURVIVORS -- RESEARCH PROGRAMS; *BIOLOGICAL RADIATION EFFECTS -- RESEARCH PROGRAMS; *JAERI -- RESEARCH PROGRAMS; * JAPAN -- NUCLEAR INDUSTRY Descriptors: ACCIDENTS; BIKINI; FALLOUT; HIROSHIMA; NAGASAKI; NUCLEAR on EXPLOSIONS; RADIATION INJURIES; RADIOPASTEURIZATION o™ Broader Terms: ASIA; BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS; BIOLOGICAL RADIATION EFFECTS; oo EXPLOSIONS; HUMAN POPULATIONS; INDUSTRY; INJURIES; IRRADIATION; ISLANDS™? ; JAPAN; JAPANESE ORGANIZATIONS; MARSHALL ISLANDS; MICRONESIA; NATIONAL“ ORGANIZATIONS; OCEANIA; PASTEURIZATION; POPULATIONS; RADIATION EFFECTS = Subject Categories: 560100* -- Biomedical Sciences, Applied Studies -Radiation Effects 054000 -- Nuclear Fuels -- Health & Safety INIS Subject Categories: F61* -- Miscellaneous -- General Relevant Documents
