Radiation Tolerance of semiconductor components on the shelf, utilized on the robots for emergency response or decommissioning in nuclear facilities, should be estimated. Just after the Fukushima Daiichi NPPs accidents occurred, a guideline, of irradiation tolerance estimation and management method of semiconductor components on the shelf, was tried to be made based on the old database developed in the course of Bilateral Servo Manipulator under the high radiation and high contamination environments. The estimation was conservative, because the data in the database were old and mainly based on the test results of silicon semiconductors. Ga-As Semiconductors are coming major recently, and expected to be higher radiation tolerance. For those reason, present semiconductor devices have irradiated and the irradiation tolerance have estimated.

Gloveboxes used for plutonium fuel development and fabrication are eventually dismantled for replacement or decommissioning. Since equipment interior and the inner surface of gloveboxes are contaminated in radioactive materials, glovebox dismantling work is performed by workers wearing an air fed suit with mechanical tools in a plastic enclosure system to control the spread of contamination. Various improvements of enclosure system are implemented including modification of the rooms to decontaminate and undress the air fed suit and introduction of inflammable filter and safety film near the size reduction workspace against fire. We describe the countermeasures deployed in the enclosure system against potential hazards and how these devices work in the real dismantling activities.

Times Cited Count：5 Percentile：38.65(Nuclear Science & Technology)We developed a remote control system to display recreated three dimensional information of workspace from measured data obtained by laser rangefinder and to operate manipulator arm remotely. In order to evaluate the effectiveness and usefulness of developed system, we implemented remote handling experiments using mock up equipment and compared the performances of remote operation conducted by the present control system with that by the usual camera based control system. Impressions of operator on the performance of each system are collected and NASA TLX tests are conducted. It was observed that the present system reduced workload stresses and reinforced visual information during remote operation.

Plutonium fuel fabrication facility is constructed in 1972 and it is almost 40 years of age and equipment and components comprises the facility start degrading. Therefore we need to start dismantling gloveboxes from old ones first and at the same time to maintain the facility components and structures and gloveboxes as necessary. Also, since waste storage space is limited in the site, we effectively use open spaces generated after removing gloveboxes and equipment as temporal waste storage space. After shipping these wastes from the facility, final characterization of the facility will be conducted and demolition of the facility will be take place.

Due to Tohoku Pacific Ocean earthquake and tsunami in 11 March in 2011, Tokyo Electric Power Co. Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station lost all power and has occurred accidents for failure of core cooling function. In Japan Atomic Energy Agency it was remodeled the nuclear disaster robot, was developed 
-ray visualization equipment and has been supporting the accident recovery. This paper is described the lessons learned from the supporting with the nuclear disaster robots and the -ray visualization equipment.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency developed a robotic control vehicle for supporting the accident recovery in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The developed robotic control vehicle can measure radiation using a cam and a robot with a radiation sensor. A heavily shielded operation box was built for reducing the exposure of radiation.
