Lecture by Naoaki Okuzumi of IRID’s Senior Manager of Planning and Administration Department at Nuclear Innovator Cultivation Camp(NICC2025) organized by Institute of Science Tokyo
(July 30, 2025)
Aiming at cultivating those who will lead a nuclear industry in globally, the Nuclear Innovator Cultivation Camp(NICC2025) was held at Institute of Science Tokyo from July 29 to August 5, 2025. This activity is a program of the Global Nuclear Human Resource Development Initiative, which sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).
As a part of the NICC2025 program, Naoaki Okuzumi, Senior Manager of the Planning and Administration Department, IRID, delivered a lecture on current status and challenges of R&D for the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS) on July 30, 2025. At the lecture, he gave a presentation focusing on the development of investigation robots to retrieve fuel debris and the investigation results which have been conducted by IRID. The lecture was attended by 14 students from U.S.A., Canada, China and Japan. The students were highly interested in the decommissioning technology developed in Japan and asked lots of questions during the lecture.
Date and time: 10:00 – 12:00, Wednesday,July 30, 2025 *NICC2025 was held during the period from July 29 – August 5, 2025.
Place: Institute of Science Tokyo, Ookayama Campus in Meguro, Tokyo

The nuclear decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi NPS is a long-term project so that it is important to cultivate human resource who will engage in the decommissioning in future. IRID will continue to share our activities working closely with academic institutions including universities to develop technology for the decommissioning.
