Yoshiyuki Inagaki is Researcher of Department of Hydrogen and Heat Application Research and Development, HTGR Research and Development Center, Oarai Research and Development Institute, Sector of Fast Reactor and Advanced Reactor Research and Development in JAEA. He received his PhD degree from Kyushu University in 1996. He started his research career at JAERI in 1981 for the HTGR technology such as reactor internals and high temperature components. He then worked in Juelich Research Center in Germany from 1994 to 1995 for a hydrogen production process. He also researched HTGR heat application systems such as hydrogen production and nuclear steelmaking systems and the system integration technology for safe connection between a reactor and a hydrogen production system.
