Greeting from the Director

 

We aim to solve issues on the R&D and production sites by maintaining and disseminating the national primary standards and by using advanced measurement and analysis techniques.

• For science technology and industries "measurement" is the basic technique which is essential for all kinds of events including discovery of new phenomena and materials, characterization of material properties, evaluation of product performance, and verification of the accuracy and repeatability.


• We, RIMA, develop, maintain, and disseminate the national primary standards especially for ionizing radiation, radioactivity and neutrons. We are also engaged in the R&D into cutting-edge analytical evaluation technologies, such as nanovoids analysis using positron beam, structural material analysis using neutron beam, imaging and non-destructive testing using with light and X-rays, functional material evaluation using ultrashort pulsed laser and ion beams to provide industries with useful measurement data which are critical for development of new materials or commercial products and through these approaches we aim to bridge the gap between innovative technological seeds and commercialization.


• We also continue to improve the quality and versatility of our measurement and analysis techniques through application to the actual R&D sites by sharing advanced measurement systems to external users in companies, universities, and research organizations.
