Jacobs J is selected by Tokyo Electric Power Company Inc to support decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan. Under a five-year framework agreement, Jacobs will draw on deep domain knowledge and decades of experience on major US and UK nuclear sites to provide program and project management services to TEPCO's Fukushima Decontamination and Decommissioning Engineering Company.In March 2011, an earthquake and tsunami caused the Fukushima Daiichi plant to experience the world's second most severe nuclear accident leading to meltdowns in three reactors, hydrogen explosions and the release of radioactive material. The framework will address key challenges, such as treatment of contaminated water, decontaminated water release, spent fuel, fuel debris and general site improvements.Jacobs' involvement will include project management support, long-term decommissioning strategy planning, management and implementation of supply chain resources and program definition for fuel debris retrieval.
