The 2013 ISOE International ALARA Symposium, organized by the Asian Technical Center, was held 27-28 August 2013 in Tokyo (Japan), and attended by an audience of about fifty participants from OECD/NEA, IEAE and eleven countries including Brasil, China, France, Germany, Republic of Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Spain, Sweden, USA and Japan.

 Japan and USA provided lessons learned from the Fukusima accident and TMI accident, respectively.TEPCO(Tokyo Electric Power Company) introduced the present situation of the Fukushima Daiichi NPP site, the current decontamination activities and mid- and long-term decontamination plan. Moreover, the CANBERRA Industries introduced the experience which was involved in the response to the Fukushima accident from immediately after the accident.

 Among these presentations, " Cook Critical RP Survey Program." by Mr, Robert Hite, Cook Nuclear Plant Radiation Protection Manager of American Electric Power was selected as a distinguished paper. He mentioned the importance of systematic approach to radiation protection program information capture.The distinguished paper will be invited to be presented at the 2015 ISOE International ALARA Symposium in Brasil.


 In connection with the symposium,the participants had the opportunity to participate a technical visit in Fukushima Dai-ichi NPP on the 29th of August, 2013. they observed the inside of the site where restoration from an accident is advanced by yard bus of TEPCO wearing the protective clothing and half-face mask. The damaged truck, the large-sized leaning strage tanks, the transmission line tower that collapsed, etc. were still left.

The route of site tour included

・Reactor water injection pump, Treatment water storage tank
・Site for multi-nuclide removal equipment
・Control room for contaminated water processing device
・Appearance of Unit 1 - 4
・Unit 4 Reactor Building
・Ocean side equipment of the Units 1- 4 , 5 and 6
・Emergency Care Room, Units 5/6
・Emergency diesel generator 6B
・Site of Yonomori Transmission Line Tower collapsed by the earthquake
