Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) (more info) goto TOP
http://criepi.denken.or.jp/
The Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) was founded in 1951 to serve as the comprehensive central research institution for the electric power industry. Since that time, CRIEPI has exercised the talents of its specialists in responding precisely to the business challenges that electric utilities face. At the same time, we undertake the general development of technologies in the quest for fundamental solutions to the many problems involved in global energy and resources, the environment, and sustainable economic development, as seen from a long-term perspective. In this way CRIEPI makes useful contributions both domestically and internationally through the advancement of the electric power industry.

http://www.rri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/
The KURRI (Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute) was reorganized in 1995 and is now composed of six research divisions and two facilities. On average, each division is composed of three laboratories. There are a total of twenty two laboratories including one laboratory provided for visiting professors.

The organization of the Institute consists of about eighty scientists, forty technical staff, and forty administrative members and clerks. The Advisory Board consists of members chosen from the scientists of both the Institute and other organizations.

Its function is to provide advice to the Director on policies for cooperative research activities. It also receives and reviews cooperative research projects proposed by researchers of universities and research institutes.

JAERI-KEK Joint Facility for High Intensity Proton Accelerators (J-PARC Project) (more info) goto TOP
http://jkj.tokai.jaeri.go.jp/
The JAERI-KEK Joint Facility for High Intensity Proton Accelerators, called the J-PARC Project, is a accelerator project in Japan with which to produce MW-class high power proton beams at both 3 GeV and 50 GeV, where J-PARC stands for Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. Construction budget started on April 1, 2001, with an anticipated first beam in the summer of 2007. Transmutation Experimental Facility (TEF) composed of two experimental facilities, Transmutation Physics Experimental Facility (TEF-P) and ADS Target Test Facility (TEF-T), will be constructed. TEF-P equips a critical assembly to investigate physical and dynamic properties of the accelerator-driven system by using low power (10W) proton beam. Uranium, Plutonium and minor actinide fuels are planned to be loaded into the assembly. TEF-T is a facility to examine the existence of ADS (Accelerator-driven System) by engineering viewpoint. Liquid lead-bismuth spallation target is installed to the TEF-T and is irradiated by 600MeV-200kW proton beam.
