IAEA Confirms Safe Levels in Fukushima ALPS-Treated Water Discharge into Ocean
Japan’s Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has commenced releasing the 19th batch of ALPS-treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station into the ocean. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) independently sampled the water and confirmed tritium concentrations are far below the government’s operational limit of 1,500 becquerels per liter. The water is discharged through a one-kilometer undersea tunnel to minimize environmental impact. Since the initial release began in August 2023, roughly 140,500 cubic meters of treated water have been discharged. The ALPS system removes most radioactive isotopes except tritium, which is considered less harmful at low concentrations. Continued... [Continue Reading]
