CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) - A nuclear fuel manager with the Japanese nuclear plant struck by an earthquake sparking one of the world's worst nuclear disasters is scheduled to speak in Carlsbad.
The Carlsbad Current-Argus reports (http://bit.ly/yMg0L5) that Takeshi Ota (tah-KEE'-she OH'-tah) of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station will make a presentation at the National Nuclear Fuel Cycle Summit slated for April.
Ota was assigned to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan last March. The natural disaster triggered a nuclear meltdown at the power station.
Ota will present an overview of the accident at Fukushima, the process for achieving stabilization, and the mid- and long-term roadmap toward decommissioning.
The Carlsbad Department of Development is hosting the summit.
