Increasing amounts of contaminated water at Fukushima I NPS at issueA point at issue at the Fukushima I nuclear power station (NPS) is treatment of increasing amounts of water contaminated by radioactivity. As a year and 10 months has passed since the onset of the accident, the amount of contaminated water stored has amounted to about 220,000 metric tons. Contaminated water is still being generated as much as 40 tons per day, and additional storage tanks are being constructed. While Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) planned to start operating the multi-nuclide removal equipment (ALPS), which can remove 62 nuclides from the contaminated water, in September last year, its startup is delayed by about four months as of now.
---
The water treated by the ALPS can be handled almost as ordinary water, although it cannot be discharged freely because of the persistence of tritium, the only radionuclide remained. [ link to www.shimbun.denki.or.jp]
