As the consequence of the nuclear accident due to The Tohoku Earthquake and tsunamis, a vast area of Fukushima was contaminated by radioactive materials releasing from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (1F). Technical support for environmental restoration of Fukushima and decommissioning of 1F are the most important mission of Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). In this presentation, we outline Okuma Analysis and Research Center and our mission on technical development for analyzing rubble and wastes from the decommissioning of 1F. Novel analytical methods are being developed at the center for determining difficult to measure nuclides.
