Arrangement for Knowledge Synthesis for Management in Nuclear Sector

Case Study of Fukushima NPP Decommissioning

Abstract

This paper tries to show concrete arrangement in order to synthesize wide-raging knowledge necessary to execute management in the nuclear sector. The arrangement consists of many steps, and this paper focuses on the step in which both of purposes and goals of the project have to be clarified to obtain knowledge from stakeholders. We apply our theory to the case of the ongoing management of decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and show how the decommissioning project can accelerate knowledge synthesis.
