On the 23rd, the Taiwanese authorities set up a research team to grasp the preparation status of TEPCO's plan to dilute the treated water containing radioactive substances such as tritium, which is increasing at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, and release it to the sea. I will dispatch you to.
The government plans to dilute the treated water containing radioactive substances such as tritium, which continues to increase at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, to a concentration below the standard, and then start releasing it to the sea by next spring. It shows a plan to release it from offshore about a kilometer.
Regarding this, the Taiwanese authorities will dispatch an eight-member investigation team, including experts from the Atomic Energy Commission, to the site on the 23rd.
The group will enter Fukushima on the 24th via Tokyo and will visit the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on the 25th to observe the preparations for ocean release.
The Atomic Energy Commission of Taiwan expressed regret over the decision after making it clear that it had previously informed the Japanese side of its opposition when the policy of release to the sea was decided in April last year.
The IAEA = International Atomic Energy Agency's research team visited the site last month regarding the ocean release plan, but Taiwan was not a member of the IAEA and could not join, so the research team individually obtained the consent of the Japanese side. Will be dispatched.
