Waste Treatment and Management Technology Development group, Fukushima Project Team; Radioactive Adsorbent Characterization and Treatment Technology Development Group,Fukushima Project; Spent Zeolite Characterization Group, Fukushima Project Team

At the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (F1NPS) of Tokyo Electric Power Company, various materials were contaminated with radioactivity due to the accident of 2011, and decommissioning/demolition of reactors units 1 through 4 have been conducted. And technology development concerning waste processing and disposal has been required. Japan Atomic Energy Agency carried out research and development on the F1NPS waste just after the accident with cooperation by R&D centers and directorates. The report summarizes the results obtained until JFY 2012.
