A workshop was held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where researchers from Tokyo Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States exchanged views on advanced nuclear systems. At the third event following 2004 and 2006, 3 researchers from both schools presented their opinions on themes such as the decommissioning of nuclear power plants.
According to Tokyo Institute of Technology, a video message from Tokyo Institute of Technology Vice President Makoto Ando (in charge of research) was released prior to the workshop, and Vice President Ando expressed his hope for the contribution of both schools to solving energy problems in the future. rice field.
Subsequently, researchers from three Japanese organizations, including the International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning, which is related to the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Fukushima Prefecture, raised issues regarding decommissioning, and researchers from both schools were active. He presented his opinions and developed deep discussions.
The day before the workshop, a workshop was held by late doctoral students from both schools to deepen mutual understanding, and the day after the workshop, students from Tokyo Institute of Technology visited the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's reactor. And spread the word.
After the workshop, both schools proposed multiple joint research themes for the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, and showed the way to solve the problem.Tokyo Institute of Technology is looking forward to the progress of joint research toward the establishment of advanced nuclear power system and technology to promote the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
