Abstract
This article describes efforts that are underway to recover from the accident of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station based on “geotechnical engineering”. Especially, the authors has insisted the ne-cessity of “Geotechnical Engineering for Decommissioning” in this article. Firstly, the new research topic of the super heavy bentonite-based slurry has been introduced briefly. It synthesized by bentonite and bar-ite, which has shielding effects against radiation, is obtained as a result of that work. “Radioactivity” is an advanced keyword for geotechnical engineering and civil engineering. Secondary, this article explains the technical committee and task force established in the Japanese Geotechnical Society (JGS) in response to that accident. The task force has identified several areas where new environmental geotechnical technolo-gies are needed and has put forth ideas for developing new technology and educational initiatives that will be necessary to train future engineers to work on the project. 19
