Regulators have approved a plan of 24 points for Fukushima Daiichi

AtomInfo.Ru, PUBLISHED 27.12.2014

Commissioners of the Japanese NRA approved December 24, 2014 as proposed by the technical staff of the Agency a list of things that must be done on an emergency nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi over the next five years.

The list includes pumping contaminated water out of trenches at site, unloading fuel from storage pools of units ##1-3 and other events. The list consists of 24 items.

The priorities are the pumping of 11 thousand tons from the trenches near the turbine building of second and third units, the unloading of irradiated fuel from the cooling pool at unit 3 and the planning of countermeasures against earthquakes and tsunamis.

In addition, the plant must solve the problem of water purification from tritium. The ALPS system used for water purification from radionuclides is unable to remove the tritium. Accordingly, the water that has passed through the ALPS, cannot be considered uncontaminated.

Until the end of the year the list will be transferred to the company TEPCO and involved agencies, and local authorities of the Prefecture of Fukushima for discussion and approval.
