This open access book is a pedagogical text on nuclear reactor experiments covering almost all
the experiments that can be carried out at the University Training Reactor Kindai University
(UTR-KINKI) with respect to reactor physics and radiation detection and additionally including
academic materials of test and research reactors nuclear instrumentation nuclear laws and
regulations in this main body. The book is an excellent primer for students who are interested
in reactor physics radiation detection nuclear laws and regulations at universities and the
best textbook for students who have started to study the nuclear energy related fields to
understand the basic theories and principles of the experiments in the fields of reactor
physics and radiation detection. UTR-KINKI has been used for educational reactor experiments
and basic research in a wide range of fields related to the use of radiation (neutrons
gamma-ray beta-ray alpha-ray and X-ray) including reactor physics radiation detection
radiation health physics activation analysis radiation biology medical applications and
archaeology. Also UTR-KINKI has been actively engaged in nuclear education with its long
history of operation and has gained extensive experience in educational activities for
undergraduate and graduate students elementary junior high and high school teachers junior
high and high school students and general audiences.
