The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) measured the tritium level after the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant discharged treated water. This has been reported TASS.
An IAEA-independent analysis of near-ocean waters confirms data from station operator Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) and Japan’s Ministry of Environment.
It was also noted that IAEA experts collected water samples from various locations within a three-kilometer radius from the point where the purified water was allegedly discharged.
Previously reportedHe said about 150 residents of a number of Japanese prefectures have filed lawsuits against the state and Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) for the release of water into the ocean from the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant, where an accident occurred in March 2011.
A significant amount of water was used to cool the nuclear reactor of the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant, where the disaster occurred in March 2011, which later turned out to be contaminated with radioactive isotopes. It is stored in 1000 tanks installed in nuclear power plants. There, it goes through an “intelligent” liquid purification system that removes most of the radionuclides except tritium. The tanks are scheduled to be emptied periodically as their capacity approaches the limit. This practice is expected to continue for another 30 years.
The discharge of water from the nuclear power plant into the ocean began on August 24, 2023.
