                Tohoku University and TEPCO to conduct joint research on decommissioning

                The term is five years. The division will conductresearch in a wide range of fields to solve various technical problems at the decommissioning site, including evaluation technology to detect the aging deterioration of structures. With the aim of fostering human resources, a CFReND branch office will be established at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant site this summer. On-site exchanges of opinions between engineers at the decommissioning site and Tohoku University faculty and graduate students will be promoted. Nobuyoshi Hara, vice president of Tohoku University (photo at right), says, "We will continue our efforts to promote decommissioning.
