| Abstract | In the process of decommissioning of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plants, a large amount of radioactive wastes such as fuel debris, structural materials, rubble, soil, and adsorbents for treating contaminated water has been generated. Analysis of radioactive nuclides has been essential for realising efficient and safe treatment and disposal of these radioactive wastes.This project aims to develop a *micro total analysis system* (mu-TAS) based on continuous microfluidic-based extraction and using a thermal lens microscope for detection. The mu-TAS will be integrated on a chip, addressing the issues of speed, volume and waste associated with larger scale approaches. | |
