Organizations and Tasks

In proceeding with decommissioning, the national government first established a policy (Mid-and-Long-Term Roadmap towards the Decommissioning of the Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings' Fukushima Daiichi NPS), and a system has been developed to ensure that TEPCO will steadily implement decommissioning under supervision and examination by the Nuclear Regulation Authority. In addition, the Nuclear Damage Compensation and Decommissioning Facilitation Corporation (NDF) provides technical advice to TEPCO and the national government, and manages decommissioning funds under an accumulation system.

Decommissioning is an unprecedented challenge around the world. To consolidate the wisdom from Japan and abroad, in addition to the national government and TEPCO, various universities, the International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning (IRID), the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), other R&D organizations, and foreign companies are working together. Additionally, cooperation has been sought from local companies and residents in Fukushima with the aim of achieving revitalization of the local community based on technological capabilities, etc. accumulated through decommissioning work and ensuring well-balanced progress of decommissioning and reconstruction of Fukushima.
