In nuclear engineering, especially for the decommissioning of severe accident atomic power plant, development of quick, easy, non-contact, no-preparation, direct, remote, onsite and in-situ analysis of nuclear fuel materials which has very complex and large amount of optical emission lines will be indispensable. In these R&D, it may be important how we realize high sensitivity and high resolution spectroscopy and perform the identification of the specific element among a large number of emission spectra. Various kind of technique, such as Double-pulse LIBS and Microwave assisted LIBS for multiply the emission intensity, high resolution LIBS by ultra-high resolution spectrometer or Laser Ablation Resonance Absorption Spectroscopy for isotope analysis, Ultra-thin Liquid flow LIBS for liquid phase application and LIBS based on radiation resistant optical fiber for onsite/in-situ monitoring of melt downed nuclear fuel debris, will have been under investigation. Japan Atomic Energy Agency has opened the new research center "Collaborative Laboratories for Advanced Decommissioning Science", and laser based spectroscopy will be restarted as one of the basic projects.

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for elemental analysis and Laser Ablation Resonance Absorption Spectroscopy (LARAS) for isotope analysis have been developed as an analytical technique for Low-decontaminated MOX fuel with fissionable Miner Actinide elements (MA) and as for one of the diagnostic tool of nuclear fuel debris and polluted materials in the decommissioning of the severe accident nuclear power station. Specialized glove box with auto and remote arraignment system for LIBS and LARAS was constructed, and the detection limit of Pu in MOX to be several 1000 ppm and some hyper fine structures of 
Pu were demonstrated. For the diagnostic tool in the decommissioning of damaged core, optical fiber based portable LIBS probe made by radiation resistant optical fiber is under construction, and just now, some specific spectra from the simulated sample of molten debris made by sintered oxide of Zr and U is successfully observed under water condition or strong radiation field.
