Human talent development and robot development related to Fukushima Daiichi decommissioning at National Institute of Technology, Fukushima College.

Abstract

National Institute of Technology, Fukushima College (Fukushima KOSEN) is a national engineering higher education institution located closest to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Fukushima KOSEN regards the contribution to the reconstruction of Fukushima as an important issue for social contribution. In order to achieve the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, the training of young people to take up this challenge is an urgent task. The recovery of the local environment from radioactive contamination and the treatment and disposal of radioactive waste are also important issues. Furthermore, robot development in collaboration with local companies will be described.
