91% of the capacity of the Fukushima contaminated water tank is filled... Suga "timely policy decision"

The amount of water contaminated with radioactive substances in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant exceeded 1.24 million tons.

According to the Tokyo Electric Power Company, about 1247,000 tons of contaminated water from which strontium was removed and contaminated water filtered by ALPS, etc., are stored in tanks in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant as of the 18th of last month.

The storage capacity of contaminated water in the nuclear power plant is about 1.37 million tons, which is about 91.0% of the storage capacity.

The Japanese government is expected to formally decide on an initiative to dilute contaminated water and release it into the ocean sooner or later.

Prime Minister Suga, who visited Fukushima the day before, explained that the number of contaminated water tanks increased and there was not enough free space on the site of the nuclear power plant. "I said.

Tokyo Electric Power and the Japanese government call these waters ``treated water'' rather than contaminated water, but tritium (tritium) is included unfiltered.

The toxicity of tritium is still controversial in the academic world, so if contaminated water containing tritium is released into the ocean, a great controversy is expected.
