About
Dr. Katsunori Ueno is a leading researcher in radiation measurement and nuclear decommissioning, with a primary focus on developing advanced dosimetry technologies for extreme environments. His most notable contribution is the creation of a fiber optic-type compact dosimeter using Nd:YAG, designed specifically for the challenging task of investigating the basement inside the primary containment vessel (PCV) of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station. This work, published in 2019 and garnering 8 citations, addresses a critical need for real-time, in-situ radiation environment data—including dose rates and radionuclide identification—to guide safe and effective decommissioning efforts. By enabling remote, compact, and robust radiation monitoring in high-dose, inaccessible areas, Ueno’s innovation directly supports the safe dismantling of one of the world’s most hazardous nuclear sites. His research bridges the gap between fundamental photonics and applied nuclear safety, demonstrating how fiber optic sensors can withstand severe conditions while providing precise dosimetric information. Ueno’s work is instrumental for engineers and scientists tackling post-accident cleanup, and his compact dosimeter represents a practical tool for future nuclear decommissioning and emergency response scenarios.
