October 5, 2022 Students from Fukushima High School visited IER

Forty first-year students from Fukushima High School visited IER and had a facility tour. Fukushima High School is designated as a “Super Science High School (SSH)” by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology of Japan, and their visit was part of the SSH program. Although the tour was only for a half an hour, Associate Professor Wada explained about the institute’s research, sample processing, radiation measurement, etc.

We hope that their visit to IER will spark their interest in research related to radioactivity and lead them to graduate school and a career as a researcher.
