The Plasma Bio-Application Engineering Lab studies low-temperature plasmas for environmental and biological applications, and high-temperature plasmas for realizing fusion reactors. The lab approaches both topics from the two sides of experiments and theoretical analysis. Divided into research groups led by individual faculty members, the lab works on measurement using interferometers and CT, plasma–material interactions, simulation, and more.

The Nuclear Reactor Engineering Lab studies reactor physics, the field concerned with understanding how neutrons behave inside nuclear reactors and how nuclear fission chain reactions proceed. The lab researches mathematical models and computational algorithms for the equations that describe the behavior of neutron populations and the phenomena in which one nucleus changes into another. It goes as far as incorporating the results into CBZ, software the lab develops in-house. The lab also applies techniques cultivated in reactor physics to fields outside nuclear power, such as thermal evaluation of radioactive waste repositories and medical applications of quantum beams.

The Nuclear Systems Safety Engineering Lab conducts research to improve the safety of current nuclear energy and to develop next-generation nuclear power systems. Its central subject is the sodium-cooled fast reactor, which uses liquid metallic sodium as its coolant. Using thermodynamic calculations and experiments, the lab examines how radioactive materials behave in a major accident, and also advances research on safety systems specific to fast reactors. The lab also works on probabilistic risk assessment that includes human behavior during accidents, and on risk assessment for small modular reactors.

The Nuclear Environmental Materials Lab focuses on research on the disposal of radioactive waste. For nuclear power to be used reliably, one condition is that radioactive waste be treated safely and securely. To predict how the materials that contain waste will change over hundreds to tens of thousands of years, the lab studies the properties of materials and the mechanisms of the reactions involved. The lab also works on research related to environmental remediation and decommissioning following the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident.

The Quantum Energy Conversion Materials Lab researches the creation of new materials using quantum beams such as ions, electrons, and light, as well as plasma. The lab works on developing new energy materials that withstand extremely harsh conditions, as well as functional materials such as all-solid-state battery materials and hydrogen storage alloys. Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the lab examines the fine structure of materials and clarifies how their properties emerge. International students and postdocs from China, Malaysia, and other countries join the research, which is carried out with green technology in mind.

The Nuclear Power Support Social Infrastructure Technology Lab is an endowed research division in the Department of Applied Quantum Science, Faculty of Engineering. Its research fields are research and technology development to promote decommissioning through international cooperation and to develop future reactors, as well as research and technology development for the long-term sustainability of nuclear power generation, including new reactors. The lab also works on improving safety by advancing dynamic PRA and reactor physics simulation, and on risk assessment of nuclear systems, targeting light-water reactors, nuclear fuel cycle facilities, and new reactors.
