The 17th Atomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ)
Kansai meeting, which was sponsored by the Kansai
Branch of AESJ, was held on 10th March 2022 online.
This event provides young researchers and students in
the field of nuclear fission and fusion science and engineering and surrounding area an opportunity to present their works.
Mr. Yasuyuki Ogino (D3) attended and made an
oral presentation on the title of “Methodology research of neutron distribution measurement inside the
fusion blanket mock-up using activation foils and an
imaging plate”. He presented the method and analysed
results of neutron distribution measurement inside the
fusion blanket mock-up using various material foils,
an imaging plate, and the compact DD fusion neutron
source. In this meeting, he received the Incentive
Award from the Kansai Branch of AESJ.

The 2nd IAE Student Research Presentation meeting, which was sponsored by the Institute of Advanced
Energy (Kyoto University), was held on December 16
(Fri.).
Mr. Fu Nomoto (M2) attended and made a poster
presentation on the topic of “Electrochemical purification in fusion liquid blanket (in Japanese)”. The following is an overview of presentation.
--------------------------------------------------------Liquid lithium lead eutectic alloy (Li–Pb), a candidate of tritium breeding material in a fusion blanket, is
easy to contain bismuth (Bi) as an initial impurity or
transmutation product from lead (Pb). In this research,
an electrochemical method using chloride molten salt
was employed to reduce Bi.
--------------------------------------------------------He received the Poster Award from Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University. The criteria for
judging posters are as follows. 1. Is it easy to understand for people in other fields? 2.Positioning of the
research 3. Questions and answers 4. Poster Preview
Presentation.

Professor Yuhei Miyauchi was awarded Shimadzu
Research Promotion Award from Shimadzu Science
Foundation on February 20th, 2023. The award is
given to researchers under the age of 45 belonging to
research institutions in Japan who have achieved original results in basic research and applied/practical research in the fields of science and technology, mainly
in the area of scientific instrumentation, and whose research is expected to be further developed. He was
awarded the award on the achievements of “Measurements of Novel Thermal Effects in Exciton Emission
of Carbon Nanotubes”.
In his award lecture, which was held on February
20th, 2023 at Hotel Okura Kyoto, he presented his
achievements on clarifying mechanism of thermalization suppression and brightening of excitons in carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) on dimensionality modification,
discovery of thermal up-conversion luminescence
phenomena and ultra-narrowband exciton thermal radiation phenomena in CNTs. These achievements
opened new opportunities for applications of carbon
nanotubes in future quantum photonics, bioimaging,
and energy engineering fields.

In the 63rd Fullerenes-Nanotubes-Graphene General Symposium which was held on August 31st-September 2nd, 2022 at Tokyo Metropolitan University, Dr.
Akira Takakura made an oral presentation on the topic
of “Efficient coalescence of carbon nanotubes with
preserved chiral angles” and he received the Iijima
Award for Young Scientists. The award was established by The Fullerenes, Nanotubes and Graphene
(FNTG) Research Society in order to recognize superior symposium presentations by young researchers
(in principle, 40 years of age or younger).

Kazunori Morishita (Associate Professor)
Dr. Kazunori Morishita was awarded for his many
years of distinguished activities from the Japan Society of Maintenology on July 13, 2022. This award is
annually given to those who have made a remarkable
contribution to the activities of the Society, both in Japan and overseas. It includes contributions to business
promotion, business operation, membership services,
education related to the maintenology, and human resource development. This year, his continuous research and educational activities on nuclear materials,
his great contribution to the extensive management of
the society, and also his recent special efforts to establish the West Japan Branch of the society, were highly
acclaimed. The award ceremony was held on the first
day of the annual meeting of the society held at Kyoto
University Clock Tower Centennial Hall.

Dr. Kazunori Morishita was awarded for his distinguished research activities from Materials Science
and Technology Division, the Atomic Energy Society
of Japan. This award is annually given to the member
who has made outstanding contributions and achievements in the field of nuclear energy materials research.
This year, his many years of great contributions to the
research and education on nuclear materials, especially his unique multiscale modeling research efforts
to elucidate the irradiation damage process in nuclear
materials, were highly acclaimed. The award ceremony was held on September 8, 2022 at the annual
division meeting held at Ibaraki University.

The Japan Society of Maintenology was founded
in 2003 to establish “Maintenology” of nuclear power
plants, other complex artifacts, and the natural environments, emerged by collecting a wide variety of information and knowledge of engineering, technology,
natural science, sociology.
At 2022 annual meeting of this society held at
Kyoto University on July 15, 2022, Ms. Yuting Chen
gave the oral and poster presentations on "Molecular
dynamics simulation study of non-equilibrium defect
formation in iron under Irradiation". Their efforts to
