The FDR 2024 Fukushima Daiichi Decommissioning Research Workshop, held in Fukushima, Japan, will bring together global experts to discuss advancements in decommissioning technologies and safety measures for the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The workshop serves as a platform for technical exchange, focusing on radiation resilience, remote-handling solutions, and safety-critical systems essential for nuclear decommissioning.

Technical Contribution: Radiation-Hardened Remote-Handling Control Systems

Dr. Ying Cao, CTO of Magics, will chair the session on “Design and demonstration of a radiation-hardened SIL-3 remote-handling control system based on BiSS-interface.” This session will address the development of high-reliability control architectures for remote-handling applications in high-radiation environments.

The implementation of SIL-3 (Safety Integrity Level 3) standards ensures functional safety and fault tolerance, critical for decommissioning operations where precision and reliability are paramount. The integration of BiSS-interface technology further enhances the robustness of control systems by enabling high-speed, real-time data transmission, ensuring stable operation in radiation-exposed conditions.

Future Perspectives

The decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi presents complex engineering challenges that require radiation-hardened technologies, automation, and advanced safety systems. Continued research and development in these areas will be essential for ensuring efficient and secure decommissioning processes.

Magics remains committed to supporting these efforts by developing radiation-resilient semiconductor technologies and contributing to the broader engineering community working on nuclear decommissioning solutions.
