For the decommissioning of "Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station", Optical Fiber based LIBS probe is constructed, and under water condition, we have successfully observed some specific spectra from the simulated sample of molten debris made by sintered oxide of Zr and U. For the use of more longer optical fiber, long-pulse laser with the pulse duration about 100 ns will be introduced to compensate the delivery power loss and/or to enhance the emission signal to be about several times by the time integration of emission signal. As for the signal enhancement technique, microwave assisted LIBS technique coupled with simple antenna for the combination use with fiber LIBS will be under developing, and about ten times enhancement was observed under the atmosphere condition. For the application to the liquid phase sample, especially for the analysis of the polluted cooling water, the thin-sheet liquid jets will be also introduced as the convenience and high sensitive monitoring for dissolved elements of nuclear fuel debris.

For the decommissioning of "Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (F1NPS)", widely basic R&D and matting for actual application for decommissioning technology will be strongly required. CLADS/JAEA is one of the key institute for strategic promotion of Decommissioning Science on F1NPS. As for the development of rapid, easy, onsite and in-situ remote diagnostic/analysis techniques under extremely high radioactive condition, the concept of probing by light and diagnostic by light with radiation resistant optical fiber will be one of the simple, powerful and applicable choices as the innovative development based on laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technology. Optical fiber based LIBS is developed for in-core and in-situ elemental analysis of debris and its activity is performed under severe environmental conditions such as high radiation field of about 10kGy/h and under water. Long pulse laser, microwave assisted LIBS and microchip laser are also introduced for more high sensitivity.
