From August 5 to August 9, the SJTU-KAIST-NTHU-KU-HEU summer school program was held at Kyushu University Ito Campus in Japan.
Professors Yong-Hoon Jeong, Ji-Hyeon Seong, and Yong-Hee Kim from our department attended the program, and 10 KAIST students, including master's student Young-Hee Kim, participated.
It has been held every summer at universities in East Asia since 2007, and students and professors from 6 universities, including Shanghai Jiao Tong University, KAIST, Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, Kyushu University, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, participated during the program period.
After listening to lectures from professors from each university for 4 days, students were divided into groups of 7 in the afternoon to discuss a given topic and solve problems.
Professor Yonghee Kim of our department gave a lecture on the topic of Feasibility of Ultra-Accelerated Decay of Long-lived Fission Products via Bound-State Beta Decay (BSBD), and Professor Jihyun Sung gave a lecture on the topic of Micro Modular Reactor and Nuclear Battery.
The group topic for this 2024 summer school was to design a small modular reactor considering design, safety, reactor decommissioning, and economic feasibility, and the group of master's student Younghee Kim worked on the topic of designing a marine micro modular reactor.
Through lectures by Chinese university professors, we were able to learn about research trends at Chinese universities, and when looking for references for papers related to thermal hydraulics and raw material development, we often came across papers published by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University laboratory.
Professor Xiang CHAI of Shanghai Jiao Tong University is actively conducting research on heat pipe reactors in relation to the development of mobile reactors, and it was a good opportunity to have direct exchanges with Chinese and Japanese students. 'There aren't many opportunities to interact closely with foreign students in the nuclear energy field, but during the summer school program, we were able to spend time getting to know each other by doing group activities and exchanging opinions, and on Wednesday afternoons, we went on a tour of Fukuoka City together, and since it will be held at Harbin Institute of Technology next year, I think students who are interested can participate and gain valuable experience,' he said. Professors Seong Ji-hyun and Kim Yong-hee attended the event, and 10 KAIST students, including master's student Kim Young-hee, participated.
