Japan is incapable of
safely decommissioning the devastated Fukushima nuclear plant alone and
must stitch together an international team for the massive undertaking,
experts say, but has made only halting progress in that direction.
Unlike
the U.S. and some European countries, Japan has never decommissioned a
full-fledged reactor. Now it must do so at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant.
Three of its six reactors melted down after the 2011 earthquake and
tsunami, making what is ordinarily a technically challenging operation
even more complex.
