Britain and Japan have signed a research and technology deployment collaboration to develop new robotics and automation techniques for nuclear decommissioning and fusion energy production in both Japan and the UK. The UK-Japan alliance is called LongOps, a robotics project to support the delivery of faster and safer decommissioning at TEPCO’s Fukushima Dai-ichi reactors in Japan and at Sellafield in the UK, using long-reach robotic arms. UKAEA’s Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE) facility will lead the project, design strategy, and deliver new robotic capabilities with global potential.
The decommissioning of legacy nuclear facilities and fusion facilities are complex large-scale projects that are time-intensive to accomplish safely. The UK-Japan alliance will help leverage Robotics and Digital Twin technologies in carrying them out efficiently with no risk to human health. A major feature of th

The Tokyo High Court on Thursday ordered the operator of the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant to pay damages to evacuated residents, but it overturned an earlier ruling by Maebashi District Court that had also acknowledged the central government s responsibility over the 2011 nuclear crisis.
Among around 30 such lawsuits across the country, the decision of the Tokyo High Court was the first high court ruling absolving the state of responsibility, contradicting an earlier decision of the Sendai High Court in September that ordered both the state and Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. to pay dam
