A research institute established in July 1957 as an affiliated institution of the Science and Technology Agency (at that time) to conduct research on radiation-induced damage to the human body, as well as its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, and on the medical use of radiation. It is currently an independent administrative institution under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. It comprehensively pursues issues related to radiation-induced damage to the human body from a wide range of fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine, and also conducts research on technologies for diagnosing and treating diseases, including cancer, using radioisotopes and various radiation generators. It offers various training courses and trains engineers in radiation protection and the medical use of radiation. It is located in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, and has a Nakaminato branch office in Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture. Chiba City is equipped with facilities and equipment for animal experiments on radiation damage, as well as various radiation generators including a cyclotron. It also has the Charged Particle Medical Science Center Hospital, which conducts clinical research and heavy ion radiotherapy. Hitachinaka City has facilities and equipment for conducting ecological research on the behavior of radioactive materials in the environment.
