The process water containing radioactive substances such as tritium to continue to accumulate in the Tokyo Electric Power Company Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the government last month, the prospect of two years later after having diluted the reference below, but we decided to release to the sea, TEPCO is studying specific methods such as whether to release from the port on the premises or to install piping on the seabed and release from offshore.
The treated water, including tritium to continue to accumulate in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, received that it has decided to release to the sea in terms of government is diluted to the density of the reference the following countries to the prospect of two years later, TEPCO specifically We are studying how to release the water and how to monitor it.
Of these, regarding the location where treated water is discharged, we will focus on the method of discharging from the harbor by using the outlets of Units 5 and 6, and the method of newly installing piping on the seabed and discharging from offshore. It means that you are doing it.
Offshore release is the method used to release tritium at other nuclear facilities.
In addition, the discharge from the harbor is currently being carried out when the groundwater containing tritium pumped up around the building is discharged.
TEPCO wants to decide on a specific release method and obtain approval from the Nuclear Regulation Authority while listening to the opinions of local governments and fishermen.
Since the decision last month regarding the release of treated water into the sea, a national briefing session has been held in Fukushima Prefecture in response to requests from fishermen that there is insufficient explanation, and opinions have been expressed against it.
