Ten Years of Remediation efforts in Japan

Abstract

As mentioned above, upon completion of the fourth of IAEA–MOE bilateral meetings, it was agreed that a broad range of information had been accumulated and that it would be worth, and indeed very opportune, to synthesize all that knowledge in a dedicated report to be published by the IAEA to the benefit of the Japanese organizations and institutions and the overall Japanese audience as well as the broad international community. With the above in mind, the objective of this report is to consolidate the discussions held in the 4 IAEA–MOE meetings on real experience gained with the remediation of off-site areas affected by the Fukushima Daiichi NPP accident, capturing the main points covered in these discussions to disseminate the information and lessons learned within Japan and to the wide international community.
