23.5.4 The Research and Development of Nuclear
Technologies for Reactor Decommissioning, Safety
Technology, Back-end, etc., Must Be Promoted
Intensively Through International Cooperation
Nuclear technologies for reactor decommissioning, safety technology, back-end,
etc., must be urgently developed. They are very important, especially in Japan after
the Fukushima Daiichi Accident.
These technologies, however, are also desired in all countries that already have
nuclear power stations, and also in countries which are planning nuclear power
stations. These technologies therefore should be researched and developed through
international cooperation. Fukushima would be a very good candidate for us to
construct an international center for researching and developing technologies for
reactor decommissioning.
23.6 Conclusion
For the future of human beings, nuclear technology is indispensable to guarantee
the safety of energy and to reduce CO 2 in the atmosphere, which causes global
warming.
For promoting nuclear technology, we must encourage young researchers to be
interested in nuclear science and engineering. Education is very important for this
purpose.
You who are experts in nuclear science and technology should be very proud of
your specialty. It is the most important time for you to solve very difficult problems
after the accident of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. I sincerely hope
that you will overcome this crisis caused by the Fukushima accident.
Let us change the misfortune into good luck for the future of human beings.
I hope that this Symposium will succeed in producing good fruits.
