Colorado State University sent four students to the Institute of Emergency Radiation Medicine at Hirosaki University in a new collaborative exchange program over spring break (10–19 March 2024). The students were able to perform a dicentric chromosome assay on irradiated cells, conduct health physics training, and visit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant site. Future collaborative student exchanges have already been planned, as well as a plan to create a new graduate course to be offered in English based on the students' trip. The new course is estimated to be offered in spring of 2025 for one credit. If you are interested in attending this new course, please contact Dr. Thomas Johnson at Colorado State University.
