Report for "Decontamination Pilot Projects for the environmental remediation of evacuation areas contaminated with radioactive materials discharged from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident; Decontamination Technology Demonstrations Projects" (Contract research)

Watanabe, Masahisa; Tagawa, Akihiro 

To discover technologies that can be utilized for decontamination work and verify their effects, economic feasibility, safety, and other factors, the Cabinet Office, Government of Japan launched the FY2011 Decontamination Technology Demonstrations Project to publicly solicit decontamination technologies that would be verified in demonstration tests and adopted 25 candidates. JAEA was commissioned by the Cabinet Office, Government of Japan to provide technical assistance related to these demonstrations. JAEA carried out a demonstration test and evaluation of 25 technologies (e.g., decontamination technology of soil classifiers, ultra-high pressure water jets and volume reduction of organic materials) to perform decontamination of the environment
