The Nuclear Fuel and Materials Engineering Lab works on problems spanning energy, the environment, and medicine, drawing on the chemistry and physics of radioactive materials and the measurement and use of radiation. Its subjects range from high-level radioactive waste and the fuel debris at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to future nuclear fuels and diagnostic and therapeutic technologies in nuclear medicine and life science. The lab views radioactive materials and radiation both as things that must be controlled and as tools to be put to use, and aims for a sustainable and prosperous society.

The Energy Conversion Engineering Lab studies the physics and engineering of how energy is generated and converted in nuclear reactions, so that it can be used safely and efficiently. By clarifying the underlying mechanisms and developing effective control methods, the lab aims to realize environmentally friendly energy systems. In particular, it studies thermofluid engineering, which is closely tied to the safety and efficiency of fission and fusion reactors, and aims to establish a science of multiphase flow.

The Plasma Physics and Engineering Lab works to elucidate physical phenomena in plasmas and to develop methods for controlling them, with the aim of realizing fusion reactors. To realize a fusion reactor, ultra-hot plasma must be kept confined until fusion reactions occur. Toward magnetically confined fusion reactors, the lab analyzes transport phenomena, instabilities, and control by waves in plasmas, mainly through theory and simulation.

The Neutron Source Engineering Lab studies the development and advanced use of neutron sources based on nuclear reactors and accelerators. The lab also studies the behavior of neutrons in nuclear fuel and materials, nuclear reactions and transmutation, and the diagnosis of integrity and the safety assessment of neutron source facilities. The lab is run by faculty of the Research Reactor Safety Management Engineering field and the Accelerator Applied Engineering field at the Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science in Kumatori, Osaka. Students who wish to conduct research in the Accelerator Applied Engineering field are also admitted through this Neutron Source Engineering field.

The Heavy Element Physical Chemistry Lab studies the physical and chemical properties of actinides, the 15 elements beginning with actinium. Actinides tend to be treated as a nuisance because of radioactive waste, but they hold interesting properties in superconductivity, magnetism, chemical reactions, and electrode reactions. Working with researchers in physics, chemistry, pharmacy, and medicine, the lab addresses the problem of radioactive waste and the production of medical radioisotopes used in cancer treatment.

The Particle Beam Medical Physics Lab studies the physics and engineering (medical physics) that support radiation medicine and particle beam medicine. Its key mission is to advance radiation therapy and ensure its quality (quality assurance). It focuses in particular on boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), a type of particle beam therapy, and ultra-high dose rate radiotherapy (FLASH-RT), a next-generation irradiation method. FLASH-RT is expected to keep the ability to cure tumors while limiting damage to normal tissue.

The Aerospace Dynamics Lab conducts basic research and develops basic technologies for the analysis of the dynamics and the motion control of aerospace vehicles. Aerospace vehicles are complex mechanical systems made of many rigid and elastic bodies joined together, and they perform advanced tasks in changing environments. The lab works on modeling and simulation of complex mechanical systems, control of nonlinear motion, and intelligent control based on environment recognition and learning.

The Fluid Dynamics Lab studies fast, complex flows, such as the shock waves and turbulence that form around supersonic vehicles. It develops simple, reliable methods for computing such flows and applies them to the analysis of aerospace fluid problems. Another theme is experimental research on rarefied gases and flows at the micro and nano scales. In such gases, flows are generated even near a wall that is at rest. Using this effect, the lab develops devices that separate a gas mixture into its components, among other things.

The Fluid Mathematics Lab studies fluids in states far from local equilibrium, mainly through theory. From a mesoscopic standpoint based on kinetic equations, the lab seeks a deep understanding of the various phenomena that occur in fluids. It aims to open up new areas of application in fluid dynamics and gas dynamics that conventional approaches could not reach.

The Propulsion Engineering Lab conducts basic and applied research on plasma (ionized gas) and reactive gases related to the propulsion of aerospace vehicles. Along with their dynamical properties, the lab focuses on the reactions of atoms, molecules, and ions in gases and their interactions with solid surfaces. Centered on experiments and also using numerical simulation, the lab tackles challenges in advanced technologies such as semiconductors, in addition to aerospace engineering.
