TOKYO TECH ‘S COLLABORATION RESEARCH WITH TEPCO FOR DECOMMISSIONING

(1) PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH CLUSTER AND ITS RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

抄録

In 2020, the "TEPCO Collaborative Research Cluster for Decontamination and Decommissioning Frontier Technology Creation" was established to promote the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi NPP. By matching the on-site needs of TEPCO with the technological seeds of Tokyo Tech, the new decommissioning technologies according to the on-site needs is developed systematically. Eight basic research subjects are currently conducted at this research cluster, including the research on debris retrieval, the research on waste treatment and disposal, the research on analysis and harsh environmental sensing, and the research on environmental remediation. Among them, the technologies with high field applicability are selected, and proceeded in the METI’s national project, “Project of Decommissioning, Contaminated Water and Treated Water Management” and practical application research with TEPCO.
