I am applying for master's degree programme in Nuclear Engineering for this year and considering universities from the following countries: Russia, Korea, Japan, China

I have a B.Sc. (Hons) in Nuclear Science degree which I've got it in 2009.

Could anyone recommend me any good graduate school with good facilities? I'm hoping to concentrate on reactor physics/design, fast neutron reactor, or accelerator driven reactor design.
