France, Japan and United States to work together on Fukushima decommissioning http://enformable.com/2016/03/france-japan-united-states-work-together-fukushima-decommissioning/ The Japanese government has decided to work with the United States and France to develop new technologies to help operators decommission the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

The Science and Technology Ministry of Japan will work together with the French National Research Agency and the United States Department of Energy.

The United States will work with Japan to develop new technologies to deal with the incredible amounts of radioactive waste being generated by decommissioning and decontamination activities.

France will help develop new robotic and remote-control equipment that will survive the extreme levels of radiation in the crippled reactor buildings.

The agreement between the three nations will also enhance the cooperation between governments.
