Guidelines for applying to the “Project of Decommissioning and Contaminated Water
Management (Development of Analysis and Estimation Technology for
Characterization of Fuel Debris)”
Date: March 1, 2021
Management Office for the Project of Decommissioning
and Contaminated Water Management

The Management Office for the Project of Decommissioning and Contaminated Water Management(hereinafter referred to as “PMO”) solicits entities to implement subsidies for the "Subsidized Projectof Decommissioning and Contaminated Water Management (Development of Analysis and Estimation
Technology for Characterization of Fuel Debris)". Details of the project are stipulated in thisGuidelines; furthermore, the procedures for implementation of the project are stipulated in the “Grant
Policy for Subsidy for the Project of Decommissioning and Contaminated Water Management”.
1. Purpose of ProjectThis project aims to support development of technologies contributing to decommissioning andcontaminated water management of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (hereinafterreferred to as “Fukushima Daiichi NPS”) of the Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Incorporated(hereinafter referred to as “TEPCO”) based upon the “Mid-and-Long-Term Roadmap” towards theDecommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of Tokyo Electric Power Company
Holdings, Incorporated” (hereinafter referred to as “Mid-and-Long-Term Roadmap”) and “The
Decommissioning Research and Development Plan for FY 2021” (The 86th meeting of Secretariat of
the Team for Decommissioning and Contaminated Water Countermeasures / PMO), so that thedecommissioning and contaminated water management of Fukushima Daiichi NPS can be
implemented smoothly, and that may lead to the improvement of Japan’s science and technology
standards.
Please note that this project is implemented under the engineering and project administration
activities performed by TEPCO in the Fukushima Daiichi NPS, and the results obtained from thisproject will be utilized for the engineering activities conducted by TEPCO.
2．Contents of Project
In decommissioning the Fukushima Daiichi NPS, it is necessary that the data and information on
fuel debris and deposits, etc. obtained inside of the Primary Containment Vessel (hereinafter referred
as to “PCV”), shall contribute to grasp the properties of fuel debris that exist inside the reactor, by way
1

of conducting the investigation of retrieval, containing and storage, and subsequent processing anddisposal, etc. of fuel debris.
Also, to ensure that the data and information thus acquired be useful for decommissioning, it isnecessary to develop technologies for analyzing the fuel debris actually retrieved and obtained
samples in the reactor inside investigations etc. as well as for correctly estimating the fuel debris andsurroundings and those conditions expected in the future.
The accident in the Fukushima Daiichi NPS is the first accident that has ever occurred in the Boiling
Water Reactor (hereinafter referred to as “BWR”) in the world. Those reactors core Unit 1 to Unit 3
have been damaged. There are a lot of structures and those are arranged in complex configurations
and different burnup times fuel assemblies are installed in the Reactor Pressure Vessel (hereinafterreferred as to “RPV”) of BWR. When the Fukushima Daiichi NPS accident occurred, it is presumed
that the control rods (made from boron carbide and stainless steel) and fuel assemblies (made from
UO2, Zirconium alloys and stainless steel) installed in the BWR have mutually contacted with eachother, reacted and melted at a temperature lower than each material’s melting point. No temperature
data, however, was not recorded since the power failure was occurred during the accident. The melted
matters are thought to have involved reactor internals (made from stainless steel), damaged RPV,and streamed down, interacted with concrete in the pedestal and spread over the pedestal bottom.
As a measure to bring the situation to its normalcy, water was injected into reactors by fire engines.
In addition to the fact that the quantity of water having reached into the reactor core remains unknown,
not only fresh water but also seawater was injected. Melted and re-solidified matters may contain alot of seawater constituent while cooling. Especially, Chlorine in seawater is known to induce pitting
corrosion in stainless steel. It is presumed that the chemical composition and structure of the fueldebris are considerably quite complicated since many substances exist in the area where melting andsolidification occurred, and the temperature history was unclear. In addition, there is concern about
the impact on the surrounding structures.
For this reason, the technologies mentioned in (1) [1] to [3] below shall be developed.
On the basis of information via PMO from other Subsidized Project Operating Entities on theirresults of“Development of Analysis and Estimation Technology for Characterization of Fuel Debris(Development of Estimation Technology of Aging Properties of Fuel Debris)”(FY2019, FY2020) and“Development of Analysis and Estimation Technology for Characterization of Fuel Debris(Development of Technologies for Enhanced Analysis Accuracy and Thermal Behavior Estimation of
Fuel Debris)” (FY2020), a list of fuel debris characteristics shall be created.
* When preparing for of a proposal for this project, the results of Project for “Development ofTechnologies for In-depth Investigation of PCV Inside (On-site demonstration of Technologies for
In-depth Investigation through X-6 penetration)” (FY2018, FY2019), “Development ofTechnologies for In-depth Investigation of PCV Inside (On-site demonstration of Technologies for
In-depth Investigation considering measures of deposits)” (FY2018, FY2019) and “Development2

of Analysis and Estimation Technology for Characterization of Fuel Debris” (FY2019, FY2020)
shall be considered. After grant decision, this project shall be proceeded confirming the contentsof the FY2020 results of “Development of Technologies for In-depth Investigation of PCV Inside(On-site Technologies for In-depth Investigation considering measures of deposits)” (FY2019,
FY2020) and “Development of Analysis and Estimation Technology for Characterization of Fuel
Debris” (FY2019, FY2020) when the FY2020 results are made public. For those project results,

FY2020) (released in the future)>https://en.dccc-program.jp/category/result(1) Development of Technologies for Analysis of Properties of Fuel Debris[1] Analysis of fuel debris samples, etc. to be obtained
For the development of technologies for the analysis of fuel debris, the samples of fuel debris
and deposits, etc. to be obtained from the PCV by the trial retrieval and in-depth investigationsin the future shall be analyzed. Fuel debris sample obtainment is affected by the progress ofthe development of the trial retrieval device and the internal investigation device and theimprovement of on-site situations, etc. Therefore, considering the schedule, priorities, sample
conditions, etc., the analysis target shall be examined and decided together with TEPCO.
Collected fuel debris samples shall be analyzed in research institutions with hot laboratories
equipped with shielding and confinement function since the samples contain nuclear fuel,fission products and radioisotope, etc. and emit strong radiation. The research institution shallhave knowledge and experiences technologies for radiation spectrometry measurement, massmeasurement, visual observation, micro observation elements mapping, crystal structure
analysis, etc., as well as the preprocessing of analyzation/observation. The analysis results will
be used to estimate how the nuclear accident progressed, grasp status of the inside reactors
and investigate safety measures when retrieving fuel debris, temporary storage, waste3management and processing/disposal, etc.
[2] Advancement of estimation on properties of fuel debris
Based on the analytical results obtained, the estimation of fuel debris properties shall befurther advanced. In advancement of estimation on properties of fuel debris, new knowledge
shall be described and in addition, a number of knowledges shall be integrated and the melting,mixing and cooling processes of fuel debris having arrived at the analytical results shall bescientifically verified and then a list of fuel debris characteristics shall be compiled. . Here by “anumber of knowledges” is meant examples of past accidents which have occurred at nuclear
installations, simulation tests, results of sample analysis, conditions prevailing at the time of theaccident in the Fukushima Daiichi NPS, the results of on-site survey performed by the Nuclear
Regulation Authority (hereinafter referred as to “NRA”) and the TEPCO, vapor-phaseenvironment inside the reactor and existing literature on uranium properties, etc. Since the
Fukushima Daiichi NPS Unit 1 to 3 each had different activating time of cooling systems at thetime of the accident, the spread of fuel debris and the damage situation inside the pedestal ineach Unit are different. Therefore, the list of fuel debris characteristics shall be created for each
unit in accordance with its damaged situation. Basic knowledge about fuel and phase diagram,
etc. and reference information shall be attached to the list for deepening the understanding of
the TEPCO and stakeholders. The results from above mentioned project implementation shallbe utilized not only for safety assessment of fuel debris retrieval, development of technologies
for containing, transfer and storage of retrieved fuel debris, criticality control and waste
management but also evaluation and analysis the accident progression in the TEPCO.
[3] International cooperation for collection of knowledge and estimation of properties of fueldebris analysis
In order to develop analytical technologies while utilizing international knowledge, knowledge
on fuel debris available in various countries shall be collected and accordingly analytical items
and properties shall be reviewed. In the future, with decreasing of the dose due to thedecontamination of the Fukushima Daiichi NPS and the decay of the radiation source, it isexpected that on-site survey will be expanded to the emission route of fission products.
Based on the results of on-site survey and analysis of obtained fuel debris samples,
investigation shall be conducted to estimate the reactions and events that occurred at the timeof the accident, situation inside reactors after the accident, fuel debris generation process,remained amount of fission products in the PCVs, effect of air dose rate, etc. under international
cooperation.
In so doing, along with sharing the result of on-site survey and analyzed results, thecooperative contacts shall be established with international conferences & forums, etc. (for4

example,

ARC-F, TCOFF by the OECD/NEA, etc.) having knowledge on fission productbehavior and emitting process, and thermophysical properties of matter. And efforts fortechnological development shall be pursued while adopting such knowledge as necessity
arises.

3. Operation of research and development(1) Gathering domestic and overseas wisdom
Projects must be conducted by utilizing domestic and overseas wisdom. In particular, theymust consider mobilizing necessary technologies and knowledge both from Japan andoverseas broadly. In case of development of machines and equipment, establishment ofcommon basis of the machines and equipment (utilization of widely used goods and goods
which have already been developed, etc.) must be taken into account as much as possible inorder to promote reasonable development. Furthermore, in the development of evaluation
method, it is important to be validated and reviewed objectively by third parties such as
academic societies, etc. Hence, such validation and review must distinctively be placed in thedevelopment plan or be set as a milestone.
In implementing the project by introducing domestic and foreign technologies and knowledge,
if necessary, the external organization shall be chosen through a public bid such as a generalcompetitive bidding in a timely manner; and in order to ensure transparency and fulfill
accountability, the information on the public bid must be published on the website and the linkto the information must appear the PMO’s webpage, with the intention to disseminate it widely.

For this purpose, it is6necessary to share harmonized input /output information among the associated research anddevelopment projects. In order to realize this information sharing, coordination among theentities involved must be done using Form 4 at the commencement of the project and othersuitable timings; and it must also be regularly shared with and confirmed by PMO and otherconcerned entities. Furthermore, the information on implementation of the project (such as
progress situation, acquired data, challenges, etc.) must be shared with and offered to PMO
and the concerned entities in a timely and appropriate manner. Also, Non-Disclosure
Agreement must be concluded among the Subsidized Project Operating Entities, theassociated research & development project entities and PMO, if necessary. PMO will conduct
the necessary coordination.
(7) Research management
The project must be proceeded with bearing in mind that the achievement goals of the project(such as the contents of outputs, target schedule, etc.) were established so as to achieve highrank goals of this project.
Furthermore, it is necessary to create a flexible implementation organization that can reflect
the following matters to the project, because understanding about the situationof the insideof PCV and necessary R&D to retrieve fuel debris is still limited, and a great deal of
uncertainties remain in respect of the preconditions for research development.
[1] Discussions about the Mid-and-Long-Term Roadmap, discussions at meetings of theSecretariat of the Team for Decommissioning and Contaminated Water Countermeasures,and instructions and advices given by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, and soforth.
[2] Discussions concerning the “Technical Strategic Plan for Decommissioning of the Fukushima
Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc.”, discussions
at meetings held by and instructions and advice given by Nuclear Damage Compensation
and Decommissioning Facilitation Corporation, and so forth.
[3] Progress management, instructions and advices given by PMO in which Nuclear Damage
Compensation and Decommissioning Facilitation Corporation have joined.
In particular, in order to achieve the project outcome targets, it is important to promptly
understand and reflect the current status of Fukushima Daiichi NPS, the progress of TEPCO’s
engineering, internal investigation, R&D, on-site working environment improvement such as
dose reduction, lowering water level, space availability, etc. It is also important to check
whether the prerequisites of the project are satisfied not only at the early stage of the project
but also at any time to during the project from the viewpoint of on-site applicability, and to takemeasures promptly if any issues are found.
Therefore, under the project management of TEPCO, it is required to establish organization
to conduct R&D. When grant application, application shall be made jointly with TEPCO.
However, TEPCO does not claim for any expenses for this project. When working at Fukushima
7

Daiichi NPS, etc. for on-site investigation and demonstration test and so on, sufficient
coordination shall be made beforehand with TEPCO, management system shall be constructedwith understanding the compliance issues and precautions, etc., and appropriate security
measures shall be taken.

The expenses covered by the subsidy shall be those directly required for the implementationof the project and those required for compiling the project results. The specific items are listed
below.

Items of Expense(1) Labor Costs

Description
Expenses for personnel required to implement the subsidized project.
Expenses for raw materials, consumables, design/fabrication/processing,(2) Operating Costs

facility/equipment,

goodspurchase,

research,outsourcing,travel,remunerations, rent/depreciation and other necessities.

(2) Expenses not to be Included in Expenses Covered by Subsidy
・Office supply equipment (furniture such as desks, chairs and bookshelves, office machineryand so forth) with which the applicants should already be provided when considering thenature of the project.
・Expenses for handling accidents and disasters that occurred during the project. (However,cancellation fees incurred by reasons not attributable to subsidized project operating entities
may be directly included as an expense. Please consult the person in charge on this matter.)・Expenses unrelated to the project(3) Exclusion of Consumption Tax from Expenses Covered by Subsidy
If general and local consumption taxes (hereinafter referred to as “consumption tax”) are
included in the subsidy amount, the applicants shall be requested to submit a report after thesettlement of tax amount, according to the granting guidelines.
This is so specified as to demand, at the time of filing an income tax return, that subsidized
project operating entities should report and return the amount to which the subsidy has been
applied, out of the amount of deduction for taxable purchase, so that the amount for which thesubsidy has been allocated out of the amount of deduction for taxable purchase shall not be
detained.
However, because the report mentioned above is based on an income tax return that will be
filed after the settlement of the subsidy, occasional delinquency in reporting due to lapse ofmemory has been found. Also, in order to avoid the complicated office procedures that need to
be followed by subsidized project operating entities, the consumption tax shall be handled asfollows.
When determining the amount of subsidy applied for in the grant application, theconsumption tax must be excluded from the expenses covered by the subsidy before
17

calculating the subsidy amount and submitting the application.
However, to avoid hindrance to the implementation of the subsidized project, such subsidized
project operating entities as those listed below shall be permitted to include the consumption
tax in the expenses covered by the subsidy when calculating the amount of subsidy.
[1] Subsidized project operating entities who are not classified as taxpayers under theConsumption Tax Act[2] Subsidized project operating entities who are tax-exempt business entities[3] Subsidized project operating entities who are business providers subject to simplified tax[4] National or local governments (limited to cases when project is conducted with a special
account), or subsidized project operating entities who are corporations listed in the attached
Table 3.
[5] Subsidized project operating entities who are using the general account of a national or local
government[6] Subsidized project operating entities who are taxable business providers that choose a refundof consumption tax, following confirmation of consumption tax and purchase tax deductions,for instance due to a low amount of taxable sales
12. Miscellaneous(1) Any expenses incurred (including expenses for order placement) before the effective date of the
grant shall not be covered by the subsidy program.
(2) In the event that the subsidized project operating entity desires to make a purchase or othercontract related to material procurement or involving an occurrence of cost, it shall invite open
competitive bidding, as a general rule, from the viewpoint of cost effectiveness. If the subsidized
project operating entity desires to transfer part of the subsidized project to a third party or
conduct the project in partnership with a third party, it shall in advance make a contract on theimplementation and report this to PMO.
(3) Once informed that the decision on grant of the subsidy is made, the subsidized project operating
entity shall not change the subsidy budget distribution or the details of the subsidized project
nor interrupt or terminate the project without prior approval from PMO.
(4) The subsidized project operating entity shall promptly report the progress of the subsidized
project and so on whenever required to do so by PMO.
(5) After the subsidized project is completed (or the project termination is approved), the subsidized
project operating entity shall submit a project result report to the management office.
(6) The subsidized project operating entity shall keep accounts on any expenditures for thesubsidized project with dedicated account books accompanied by all written evidences in a waythat is clearly differentiated from the other accounting to ensure that all incomes andexpenditures are meticulously accounted for. The entity shall maintain the account books atleast five years after the fiscal year in which the date of completion (or the date of approval for18

termination) is included so that they can be accessible whenever requested by METI, fundestablishment organization and PMO.
(7) With respect to the assets acquired or the utility of which has increased through the subsidized
project (hereinafter referred to as "the Acquired Assets, etc."), the subsidized project operating
entity shall manage them with due care of a prudent manager even after the completion of thesubsidized project, and strive to effectively make use of them in accordance with the purposeof the grant of the subsidy. All applicable Acquired Assets, etc. shall be properly controlled using
an Acquired Asset Ledger during the asset disposal restriction period, which will be separately
set forth.
(8) If the subsidized project operating entity needs to dispose of (i.e., use, transfer, loan or offer as
collateral assets contrary to the purpose of the grant of the subsidy) any Acquired Asset having
a unit price equal to or higher than 500 thousand yen (tax excluded) during the asset disposal
restriction period separately set forth, they must obtain prior approval. In this case, the entity
shall pay part of or the entire subsidy amount as a general rule. (The maximum payment does
not exceed the subsidy amount for the appropriate asset to be disposed of).
(9) After the completion of the subsidized project, the Board of Audit may visit the premises of thesubsidized project operating entity for inspection.
