Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, the plant’s operator, claimed to have discharged 7, 800 lots of treated water from 10 vehicles during the 17-day initial release. At the flower, 1, 000 tank hold on 1.34 million lots of radioactive waste.
Before beginning the launch of the second square of 7, 800 tons stored in 10 different tanks, plant workers will wash the network and other equipment and check the system over the coming weeks, according to Teruaki Kobashi, a spokesman for TEPCO.
Since the release’s beginning, all water and bass sampling data have fallen far short of established safety standards, according to officials.
According to TEPCO and the government, the waste is treated to bring the radioactive materials to healthy levels before being diluted with water to make it significantly safer than international standards.
Since three of the tree’s units were harmed by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, nuclear waste has accumulated. Because cooling waters used on the damaged reactor leaks into the furnace basements, where it mixes with water, it keeps expanding.
According to authorities, the pace may pick up eventually. TEPCO intends to relieve 31, 200 lots of treated water through March 2024.
The tanks will achieve their potential of 1.37 million tons the following year, and place at the herb is required for its decommissioning, according to the authorities and TEPCO, making the discharge inevitable.
