From Japan straight out to the world: the web site for news and information

The decommissioning work at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, being carried out based on the “Mid-and-Long-Term Roadmap towards the Decommissioning of TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station,” consists of measures to deal with contaminated water, removal of fuel rod assemblies from spent fuel pools, retrieval of fuel debris, measures to deal with waste materials, and other operations.

Considering the Japanese government's basic policy announced in April 2021, TEPCO had been reviewing the details of the design and operation of ALPS treated water dilution/discharge facility and related facilities. On December 21, 2021, TEPCO submitted the "Application Documents for Approval to Amend the Implementation Plan for Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Specified Nuclear Facility" for the basic design of ALPS treated water dilution/discharge facility and related facilities to the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA), and on July 22, 2022, these application documents were approved by the NRA.

At this press conference, the Chief Decommissioning Officer  provided an update on the status of decommissioning and the handling of ALPS treated water.
