Abstract
Nuclear 3S (Safety, Security and Safeguards (Non-proliferation)) are serious global issues of common concern. Based on lessons learned from the International Terrorism in New York on September 11, 2001 and the Accidents of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on March 11, 2011, new creative ideas in the research and educational programs are necessary in order to promote the global peaceful use of nuclear energy for sustainable prosperity in the world in future. Based on these global circumstances, Tokyo Institute of Technology established a “Academy for Global Nuclear Safety and Security Agent” initiated with the unique features of a curriculum that combines the education in nuclear science/engineering and liberal arts, which is supported by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan in 2011. The students selected to enter the “Academy for Global Nuclear Safety and Security Agent” have to stay in a dormitory (DOJO) with other students and the supervisors (DOJO Masters). In this way, they have the opportunities to discuss various global non-nuclear issues without the solutions and to learn from each other in the DOJO. Students have to study the compulsory subjects shown below in addition to Master and Doctor Theses.
