TEPCO has applied to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a plan to dilute the treated water that continues to accumulate at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to a concentration below the standard from around next spring and release it from offshore about 1 km, and it is currently under review. I am.
On the 8th, a total of five people, including Akira Ishiwatari, a member of the Regulatory Commission, and a staff member of the Nuclear Regulatory Agency, conducted a field survey.
The committee members visited the construction site of a "vertical shaft" with a depth of about 18 meters to store the treated water before discharging, and the person in charge of TEPCO explained the procedure for diluting the treated water with seawater and the process of flowing it into the sea. I was receiving an explanation.
With the approval of the Regulatory Commission, TEPCO will start full-scale construction such as the construction of an undersea tunnel from around June with the consent of the local Okuma Town, Futaba Town, and Fukushima Prefecture. I want to.
After the investigation, Mr. Ishiwatari said, "The facilities related to the discharge of treated water were not difficult, and there were no particular technical problems. I want to go. "
