Conclusion Fukushima restoration activities are important for Japanese nuclear industry recovery. TOSHIBA has been involving to solve problems of Fukushima and applying international experiences and practices to each problems though many companies. It is fundamental to have international experiences and practices though international collaboration to solve Fukushima issues. Any information, experiences, practices are highly appreciated. TOSHIBA believes some feedbacks from Fukushima will be able to apply to projects outside Japan in future, if there are good international collaborations. 2016 Toshiba Corporation 14/15
