Tokyo Electric Power Company has announced plans to start dismantling treated water tanks at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant site, primarily to clear space needed to store nuclear fuel debris to be extracted from the damaged reactors. Water storage tanks at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. . In March, 2011, an accident occurred due to the Great East Japan Earthquake at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS). Our previous articles highlighted efforts toward decommissioning of the FDNPS as well as measures in dealing with contaminated water that contains radioactive. . A TEPCO representative measures radiation levels around the treated water storage tanks in 2018. Credit: Kimimasa Mayama/AFP via Getty Despite concerns from several nations and international groups, Japan is pressing ahead with plans to release water contaminated by the 2011 meltdown of the. . To reduce the risk of radioactive materials in contaminated water, water is first treated with cesium/strontium filtering equipment to remove most of the contamination. (below, TEPCO) has run into severe difficulties.
