| Research Abstract |
There were three purposes in this study. The first was to make a fundamental chronological table and databases of the international conference in plasma physics and nuclear fusion research. The second was to study a history of international exchange of nuclear fusion research on the basis of historical documents. The third was to have interviews with some fusion researchers who played an important role in fusion research in the past. We made the chronological table and database by using conference proceedings and historical materials preserved in NIFS, JAEA and CST Nihon University. The chronological table and databases will be used in historical research of the international exchange in nuclear fusion research in Japan as a basic data. We found some of new historical facts in a historical research of the nuclear fusion research at the dawn stage. We presented these new historical facts at the meeting of the Physical Society of Japan, etc. Currently, we have been making efforts a plan to save the recording of the interview as a document.
