Available positions
One position
Recruitment theme
Research and Development on laser screening analysis for in-vessel or sampled nuclear fuel debris.
In decommissioning the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, simple and quick remote analysis of nuclear fuel debris is essential to promote efficient and safe retrieval of fuel debris. Therefore, Research and Development on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for in-situ, remote analysis of in-vessel or retrieved (sampled) nuclear fuel debris will become indispensable.
In this theme, the development of equipment and construction of data analysis methods for the practical application of optical fiber-delivered microchip LIBS systems and microchip laser LIBS systems with application in workplaces in mind will be particularly responsible.
