1. Statement
 The beam produced by the accelerator is widely used in modern society, not only for the basic research on elementary particles and nuclear physics, but also being applied in various situations to solve the broader problems in the future. Radioisotopes (RI) being developed as the nuclear medicine, is produced by the quantum beam. It is indispensable for cancer research on evolving gamma-ray imaging technology and alpha-nuclear medicine treatment. In alfa-nuclear medicine, which is expected to be a new treatment for cancer, especially for refractory cancer, an improved technology has been desired to produce short-lived RI in stable and safe manner.
 So far, space Cosmic ray origin soft errors are discussed to protect equipment operating in harsh environments such as space stations and/or exploration satellites. It becomes also an important issue, as Internet of Things (IoT) growing fast, to evaluate soft errors in equipment operating at ground level by accelerated tests using high-energy beams.
 The Association is established, to share the burden to research and develop the following activities to promote social implementation, realizing such an aging but rich and healthy society, and safe super-smart society: (1) quantum beam medicine, centered on alfa nuclear medicine, (2) soft error evaluation to prevent social disorder, (3) high-intensity compact accelerators, using high thermal superconductivity technology, (4)state-of-art radiation image, using space observation technology.

2. Objectives
 The Association provides the research platform where industry, academia and government cooperate with each other, aiming at the realization of new RI therapeutics and the international standardization of soft error evaluation.
 Our members bring their technologies together and utilize each other to support the creation of a long-lasting healthy society.
Accelerating the development of short-lived astatin-211 therapeutics, we start operation to import long-acting actinium-225 from overseas organizations and supply them to domestic organizations.
 During the lifetime of the Quantum Innovation for Safe and Smart Society Program (OPERA), we will work closely with this, after the end of the project, we continue a surviving business that accelerates development research for social implementation of the acquired technology.

3. Policy
 We are working closely with member companies and universities to contribute the benefit of society.
 We assign public research institutions as special members, private companies as regular members and individuals and/or organizations who support the Association as the supporting members.
 The Association is legally registered as a corporate juridical person with the board of directors, elected by their members.
