On October 2016, 10, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology announced the "Decommissioning Acceleration Research Program (Japan-France Nuclear Joint Research)" in the "Nuclear Science and Technology / Human Resources Development Promotion Project that Consolidates Wisdom". We have started the open call for new projects to be adopted in 5.
This time, we will openly solicit new research topics on the theme "Joint research on basic basic technology for working in harsh environments" jointly set by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the French National Research Organization (ANR).
The fuel debris removal work for the decommissioning of the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station is expected to be difficult due to harsh environments such as high radiation dose, high humidity, high temperature, and low illuminance.Therefore, in cooperation with France, we will promote research on basic and basic technologies that contribute to understanding the physical properties, properties, and distribution of fuel debris and studying measures for high radiation dose environments.
The French side is mainly interested in research results as basic basic technology, such as robot technology (including cobotic), remote control technology, image processing, telemetry system, radiation resistant materials, other materials, new sensors, etc. To carry out joint research on.
Since 2015, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has been implementing this "National Issue-Responding R & D Promotion Project, Nuclear Science and Technology / Human Resources Development Promotion Project that Consolidates Wisdom."In order to contribute to solving problems in the nuclear field, including the decommissioning of the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, we will promote basic and basic research and human resource development across institutions and fields, both inside and outside the country. I am aiming.
