This 69-page report summarizes information on technologies to survey and decontaminate wide-area radiological contamination and manage the subsequent radioactive waste. This information was reported by several Japanese government agencies such as the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, the Japanese Ministry of the Environment, and the National Institute for Environmental Science, together with academic institutions and industry, following the radiation release at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in 2011. The report compares technologies to recently developed, deployed, and available technologies in the United States.>U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Research and Development, National Homeland Security Research Center>Lee, Sang Don>Report
