Deep Space: The new frontier of radiation controls
In commercial nuclear power, there has always been a deliberate tension between the regulator and the utility owner. The regulator fundamentally exists to protect the worker, and the utility, to make a profit. It is a win-win balance.
From the U.S. nuclear industry has emerged a brilliantly successful occupational nuclear safety record—largely the result of an ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) process that has driven exposure rates down to what only a decade ago would have been considered unthinkable. In the U.S. nuclear industry, the system has accomplished an excellent, nearly seamless process that succeeds to the benefit of both employee and utility owner.

Shunsuke Ide obtained Ph.D of Science from Faculty of Science, Kyoto University in 1989. Since 1990, he has been working in QST (formally JAERI, JAEA then QST) as an experimental physicist mainly on, heating and current drive, confinement, scenario development. He was appointed as the JT-60U theme leader and led the JT-60U experiment in 2002-2004. He has been appointed as the deputy director general of Naka Institute for Fusion Science and Technology of QST since 2024. Also he served as the chair of the ITPA Integrated Operation Scenario topical group 2008-2011. And he serves as the chair of the Technology Collaboration Programmes for Co-Operation on Tokamak Programmes (TCP-CTP).
