IAEA’s Grossi joins seawater sampling at Fukushima Daiichi
International cooperation in the monitoring of radiation levels in seawater near the disabled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant continues. Scientists from China, South Korea, and Switzerland were recently joined by International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi as they collected seawater samples under the “additional measures” framework, which was adapted in 2024 to increase the participation of other countries and enhance the transparency of the IAEA-led analyses.

Low activation materials are attractive for the development of fusion power plants because of their advantages in environmental and safety concerns. The waste management aspects of fusion power plants constructed using candidate low activation materials, namely vanadium alloy and RAFS were reviewed. The objective of this review is to (1) understand the present tendency of waste management strategies being developed in the U.S., European Union and Japan, (2) identify consensus and discrepancies in determining these strategies, and (3) recommend joint effort in establishing an high quality and internationally acceptable strategy.
