In Japan, the sixth stage of discharge of water peeled from radioactive particles is completed
to the ocean from the emergency NPP “Fukushima-1”. This is stated in the message of the company-operator of the Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) station.
During the next stage, about 7.8 thousand tons were dropped.
According to the report, in the 2024 fourth year, which began on April 1, this is the second discharge of water from the nuclear power plant. It lasted from May 17 to June 4.
TEPCO specified that the abnormal levels of tritium in the coastal zone were not found.
During the current financial year (from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025), it is planned to drop 54.6 tons of water used to cool the reactors of the emergency nuclear power plant into the ocean.
In the 2023 fourth year, 31.2 thousand tons of weak -to -and -core water water were dropped.
Tokyo Electric Power Co began to discharge the first batch of water from the Fukushima-1 NPP into the ocean in August 2023.
Water from the Fukushima-1 NPP is drained along a special tunnel located 1 kilometer from the coast.
The accident at the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant is a radiation accident of the maximum, level 7 on the international scale of nuclear events (Ines), which began on Friday March 11, 2011 as a result of the strongest earthquake in the history of Japan and the tsunami that followed it.
The Government of Japan has decided on the gradual discharge of purified water into the ocean. The decision to discharge water caused sharp criticism from neighboring countries, primarily the PRC, as well as local fishermen.
