Aiming at cultivating those who will lead a nuclear industry in globally, the Nuclear Innovation Bootcamp 2023 (NIB 2023) was held at the Tokyo Institute of Technology jointly with the Nuclear Innovation Alliance (NIA) from July 29 to August 12, 2023. This activity is a program of the Global Nuclear Human Resource Development Initiative, which sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).

NIB2023 is a two-week camp-style seminar that has been held annually in the U.S. and other countries. In 2023, it was held at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Ookayama Campus, Japan.

As a part of the NIB 2023 program, Naoaki Okuzumi, Senior Manager of the Planning and Administration Department, IRID, delivered a lecture on current status and challenges of R&D for the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS) on August 2, 2023. At the lecture, he gave a presentation focusing on the development of investigation robots to retrieve fuel debris and the investigation results which have been conducted by IRID. The lecture was attended by about thirty students. The students were highly interested in the decommissioning technology developed in Japan and asked lots of questions during the lecture.

  • Date and time: 8:30 – 10:30, Wednesday, August 2, 2023 *NIB2023 was held during the period from July 29 – August 12, 2023.
  • Place: Tokyo Institute of Technology, Ookayama Campus in Meguro, Tokyo
