Mr. Naoaki Okuzumi, Senior Manager of IRID, Gives a Presentation at the Fukushima Reconstruction Symposium on Waste Treatment and Decontamination Technologies
(June 4, 2019)
To complete the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS) and achieve the reconstruction of Fukushima Prefecture, it is necessary to acquire and utilize knowledge from a wide range of science, technology, and social science fields. The Fukushima Reconstruction Symposium on Waste Treatment and Decontamination Technologies was held at the Nano-process Research Center, Nano & Life Innovation Research Institute, Waseda University, to present the achievements of researchers in various fields.
In the symposium, Mr. Naoaki Okuzumi, Senior Manager of the R&D Strategy Planning Department, gave a presentation on the status of technology development for fuel debris retrieval in the Fukushima Daiichi NPS. Mr. Okuzumi introduced various technologies that the International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning (IRID) has developed, such as devices used for investigation inside the primary containment vessel (PCV), as well as technologies for fuel debris retrieval, treatment and disposal of solid waste, and remote decontamination. The symposium attracted over 100 people, including university professors and specialists in various industries, and provided a forum for the free exchange of opinions among the attendees.
The decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi NPS is a long-term project that may last for 30 to 40 years, and therefore, fostering young talent is a significant issue. IRID is therefore focusing on the cultivation of human resources for future research and development (R&D). We are committed to promoting cooperation with academic institutions, including universities, to enhance understanding of our R&D for a wider range of people.
Date and time: Tuesday, June 4, 2019, 13:30 – 17:00
Place: Nishi-Waseda Campus, Waseda University (3-4-1, Okubo, Shinjuu-ku, Tokyo)
