This panel discussion will focus on advanced technologies for Fukushima decontamination and decommissioning. Experts will describe status of the site and technology being developed and deployed to for characterization, decontamination for dose reduction, debris retrieval, and debris processing. We anticipate that lessons learned will be applicable to routine maintenance and D&D of reactors in general.
