WASHINGTON, D.C. – EM and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) officials met Nov. 6 at DOE headquarters to discuss the status of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station cleanup. Through international collaboration, EM supports Japan in its cleanup and long-term strategic planning. This latest meeting continued to build EM's partnership with Japan after EM officials traveled to Japan this past summer for a forum. It provided an opportunity for EM to share information related to technical aspects and stakeholder engagement during decommissioning and remediation of nuclear legacy sites in the United States.
