Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) has established the Advanced Nuclear 3S (Safety,
Security, and Safeguards) Education and Training (ANSET) program in 2017. The ANSET
program provides students with an advanced 3S curriculum (3S Lectures, 3S Exercises, and 3S
Internships), which educates them in 3S expertise, insight and leadership, and practical skills.
This paper introduces four exercise courses of the program. “Nuclear Non-proliferation and
Security Exercise” course is designed to deepen the understanding of important physics and
technology in nuclear non-proliferation and security. Students perform uranium enrichment
determination using non-destructive assay, numerical simulations of shock wave impact on
structural materials, and physical protection exercises and studies at an exercise field and nuclear
facilities. “Environmental Dynamics of Radioactive Material” course is intended to have students
build an emergency response capability to nuclear and radiological disaster such as nuclear
accidents or nuclear terrorism. It offers an intense immersive experience that includes simulation,
analysis, and evaluation of the atmospheric dispersion of radioactive materials. “Radiation
Disaster Response Exercise” course aims to have students build an emergency response and crisis
management capability, teamwork, and communication skills needed to adequately respond to
radiation disasters caused by nuclear security events. It provides an intense immersive experience
that includes planning and implementing detection, verification, and retrieval of unknown nuclear
and radioactive materials as a radiological emergency response assuming hypothetical nuclear
security events. This course includes gamma-ray source identification, neutron source detection,
uranium enrichment determination, and radiological emergency response. “Nuclear Disaster
Response Exercise” course is designed to help students understand the progress of nuclear
accidents in nuclear power plants through practicing simulation of transient events, design-basis
accidents, and severe accidents using a nuclear power plant simulator and find lessons from the
Fukushima nuclear power plant accident on nuclear security. It aims to cultivate a comprehensive
thinking ability so as to respond to beyond-design-basis accidents in both viewpoints of nuclear
safety and security.
