Fukushima Daiichi presents various issues from the nuclear accident in 2011 and requires long-term decommissioning work in a safe and steady manner. Because of the difficult nature of decommissioning the plant, both Japanese and international experts are supporting the process.

There are three major challenges in decommissioning:

• Fuel removal from spent fuel pool
• Fuel debris removal
• Nuclear facilities dismantling

The mid- and long-term road map shows the entire decommissioning schedule and divides the completion time into four stages: reactor stabilization stage, first stage, second stage, and third stage. We are currently in the second stage. TEPCO holds inspections from international organizations and embassies and shares all analysis results of measured radioactive data.
