The 3rd Japan–Russia Joint Forum for Education and Research: Lecture by Mr. Naoaki Okuzumi at Tokyo Institute of Technology
(February 20, 2020)

The Tokyo Institute of Technology has been engaged in a national program supported by the Ministry for Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT). This program, the Inter-University Exchange Project with Russia “Nurturing leader scientists and engineers for healthcare, medical, nuclear power, and energy industries between Japan and Russia,” is based on academic exchange with the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Moscow State University (MSU), and the National Research Nuclear University MEPhl. This program has been promoted to cultivate young talent in the engineering field who will contribute to developing the industry both in Russia and Japan.

Teachers and students from both countries participated in the 3rd Japan–Russia Joint Forum for Education and Research. As a part of the forum, Mr. Naoaki Okuzumi, Senior Manager of the R&D Strategy Planning department, International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning (IRID), delivered a lecture titled, “Overview of IRID R&D for fuel debris retrieval technologies at Fukushima-Daiichi.” The lecture included an investigation status of the interior of the primary containment vessel, research and development (R&D) of fuel debris retrieval, and the concept of safety management, specifically an overview of IRID and the robots developed by IRID.

IRID will continue to provide opportunities to present the status of R&D for the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS) to a wide variety of people.
