Waste and Water: The Future of Decommissioning Efforts at Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Station
The unprecedented impacts from the 2011 Great Tohuko Earthquake have required the development of complex and multilayered approaches to safely decommission the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS). This session will focus on two unique perspectives on Fukushima-Daiichi NPS decommissioning activities: the IAEA Task Force monitoring and reviewing the safety of the planned discharge of treated water currently stored on site and the NDF, the entity leading strategic planning related to decontamination and decommissioning at the site. Attendees will learn about ongoing and future decommissioning activities at Fukushima-Daiichi NPS, lessons learned, and the role of the IAEA in reviewing the planned release of treated water from the site by the Government of Japan.
