Challenges for Fukushima environmental restoration; JAEA's perspective

Miyahara, Kaname  ; Iijima, Kazuki  

This presentation provides a concise overview of knowledge and experience gained from the activities for environmental remediation after the Fukushima Dai-ichi accident to establish the technical basis for strategic, off-site response to nuclear incidents. It is produced by JAEA, reflecting JAEA's key role in the research associated with both remediation of contaminated areas and the natural processes influencing contamination migration in non-remediated areas. This presentation also provides a perspective on the future actions to facilitate return of residents to the most contaminated zones from the standpoint of environmental chemistry and radiochemistry with special emphasis on associated waste management.
