Forum for Nuclear Cooperation in Asia (FNCA)
The 1st International Conference for Nuclear Cooperation in Asia (ICNCA) was held by the Atomic Energy Commission in March 1990 to promote cooperation in the field of nuclear energy with neighboring Asian countries more efficiently. Since then, the Atomic Energy Commission of Japan has held many ICNCAs where the ministers in charge of development and utilization of nuclear energy exchanged frank views on how to proceed with regional cooperation, and has carried out practical cooperation on specified subjects as well. At the 10th International Conference for Nuclear Cooperation in Asia held in March 1999, it was agreed to move to a new framework, "Forum for Nuclear Cooperation in Asia" (including Coordinator and Project Leader System) with a view and information to shifting to more effective and organized cooperation activities. Under this framework, view and information exchanges are made on the following fields: (1) utilization of research reactors, (2) utilization of radioisotopes and radiation to agriculture, (3) application of radioisotopes and radiation for medical use, (4) public information of nuclear energy, (5) radioactive waste management, (6) safety culture of nuclear energy, (7) human resources development and (8) Industrial Application.
