Report for "FY 2011 Evaluation of Decontamination Technology Demonstrations Projects for the environmental remediation with radioactive materials discharged from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident" (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 22 candidates. JAEA was commissioned by the Ministry of the Environment, Government of Japan to provide technical assistance related to these demonstrations. JAEA carried out technical advice of demonstration test and evaluation of 22 technologies (e.g., decontamination technology of Thermal decomposition, Bottom sediment of Pond and volume reduction of organic materials using biomass technologies) to perform decontamination of the environment.
