The first meeting of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to review TEPCO's plans for the release of treated water containing tritium from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station into the sea was held, and the release was made while personnel were devoted to decommissioning work. It was pointed out one after another, such as whether a sufficient system could be established for the analysis of the previous treated water.
At the first meeting, TEPCO will set up a new department specializing in the plan to release treated water containing radioactive substances such as tritium to the sea after lowering the concentration below the national standard, and about 40 people will be assigned. I explained.
On the other hand, a person in charge of the Nuclear Regulatory Agency said, "As decommissioning work progresses and the need for analysis other than treated water increases, a sufficient system is in place, considering that analysis of treated water before discharge is important. Many people pointed out, such as "Is it possible to take it?" And "Is the decommissioning work consistent as a whole?"
TEPCO replied, "It is a department that looks at the entire Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, and will provide the personnel and funds necessary for the system."
The government this year in April, after a concentration below the national standards for treated water, we decided to release to the sea after two years in prospect, TEPCO, in order to release the treated water so far No plans are given for specific equipment.
