Hatano-Oono Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A materials science lab studying the materials that support fusion reactors and tritium, their fuel.
AboutAbout the lab
Materials science for realizing fusion energy.
The Hatano-Oono Lab studies materials science to enable fusion energy to be put to use in society sooner.
Fusion reactor materials are exposed to hydrogen isotope plasma and high-energy neutron irradiation.
The lab develops plasma-facing materials that can withstand these conditions and investigates the effects of neutron irradiation.
It also works on research to safely control tritium, which is both a fuel and a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
Key terms
- Plasma-facing materials
- Materials for the walls inside a fusion reactor that are directly exposed to high-temperature plasma
- Tritium
- A radioactive isotope of hydrogen, also known as hydrogen-3. It serves as fuel for fusion reactors
- Hydrogen isotopes
- The family of hydrogen types that differ in mass, such as ordinary hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium

ResearchResearch themes
Aiming at early social implementation of fusion energy, the lab develops plasma-facing materials that withstand irradiation by hydrogen isotope plasma and high-energy neutrons. It also works on research to safely control the behavior of tritium, the fuel, and on research that makes use of hydrogen isotopes.
*Illustrative imageFusion reactor materials and neutron irradiation effects
The lab develops plasma-facing materials that withstand irradiation by hydrogen isotope plasma and high-energy neutrons. Neutron irradiation effects are also among its research themes.
*Illustrative imageTritium control and technology development
This research aims to safely control the behavior of tritium, which is both the fuel of fusion reactors and a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. Research themes include its retention and migration in reactor materials, purification and separation, and measurement technologies.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of reactor core structural materials
Associate Professor Oono develops core structural materials for nuclear reactors and fusion reactors. The lab investigates the mechanical properties, environmental properties, and microstructure of metallic and oxide materials, as well as the effects of irradiation.
