tours are covered by the registration fee.
7 Technical tours will be offered at out our conference :
- Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station
- Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station
- Nuclear Safety Research Center Institute of JAEA
- Oarai Institute of JAEA
- Tokai Nuclear Power Station
- Fukushima Various Facility Tour

Note: Knowledge transfer from Plant Manager of Fukushima Daini NPS is planned. At the
Fukushima Daini NPS, all four units lost heat removal function, which remove heat from the
reactors to the final heat sinks, due to the tsunami damage. However, while implementing
mitigation measures in accordance with emergency operating procedures, operators restored the heat removal function and achieved cold shutdown of all units. This should bring you valuable and seldom experiences.
