Keywords:Reactor decommissioning, Severe accident, Fukushima-Diaiichi, Education, Decommissioning robot competition for students
NIT Fukushima College started an education and technology development program contributing to the decommissioning project under the collaboration of the nationwide NIT colleges, universities, national institutes and the local private companies. The program contains the activities for the development of (i) Physical and chemical probes to estimate the damages of the reactor buildings and the in-vessel components, (ii) Methods and devices for sampling and analysis of the “debris”, including those for the storage of heat-generating nuclear wastes, and (iii) Social science approach to reduce the labor accident risks focusing on the motivation of the employees. Also, (iv) Education course to introduce the decommissioning technology including “the decommissioning robot competition” is a vital part of the program for the development of students with visions.
