Fukushima NPP Operator Starts to Transfuse Water From Tanks for Release Into Sea - Reports
TEPCO, the operator of the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant (NPP), has started to transfuse treated radioactive water from tanks, in which it had been stored after the 2011 disaster, for further discharge into the sea, Japanese media reported on Tuesday. | The company is transfusing the water into a facility where it will be mixed with seawater, which will reduce the proportion of tritium there to the level that is 40 times lower than the maximum norm, the local broadcaster reported. ● Another local news agency reported, citing TEPCO, that around 31,200 tonnes of water with a cumulative 5 trillion becquerels of tritium will be released in fiscal year 2023 (until March 31, 2024). Earlier on Tuesday, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that the release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima NPP into the sea will begin on August 24 if weather and sea conditions allow. ● Japan initially planned to begin discharging water purified of all radionuclides except tritium into the ocean 0.6 miles from the station this spring. However, the deadline was pushed back to the summer of 2023 due to adverse weather conditions and other factors.
