The result of RFI was presented to the Japanese government’s Committee on Countermeasures for Contaminated Water Treatment on November 15 as below.

We are publicizing “Form 2″ provided by submitters as information available for disclosure.

(Background)

The Ministerial Meeting on Contaminated Water and Decommissioning Issues on September 10, 2013, discussed “Policies and Concrete Actions for Addressing the Contaminated Water and Decommissioning Issues”, and concluded that a team to collect expertise from all over the world and to invite proposal of countermeasures would be established.

In response to this determination, the International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning (IRID) is going to transmit information about technical needs and requirements, to give initial review on information submitted, and thereafter report them to the Japanese government’s Committee on Countermeasures for Contaminated Water Treatment. We highly appreciate your cooperation.
