After the accident in 2011, remotely operated robots have been used to decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of the Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.. The decommissioning period is estimated for 30 or 40 years and remotely operated robotics is providing essential solutions to ensure safe and secure task execution. In this talk, we e will introduce lessons learned from past remote task executions. In addition, R&D activities of our group on the technologies committing to performance evaluation for the systems and improvement of operator proficiency/spatial awareness in order to maintain safe and secure decommissioning operations will be introduced.
