In a recent announcement, Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) has stated that they will be diluting 1.34 million cubic metres of waste water with 1,200 cubic metres of seawater before releasing it. This process, according to Tepco, is expected to take several decades to complete.
The decision to dilute the waste water before release comes after years of debate and concern about potential environmental impacts. The waste water is a result of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011, where a massive earthquake and tsunami damaged the nuclear power plant, leading to a release of radioactive materials.
To address these concerns, Tepco has implemented a dilution process that will significantly reduce the concentration of radioactive substances in the waste water before it is released into the sea. The company has stated that this process is the best available option and has been approved by the Japanese government and international experts.
This announcement by Tepco marks a significant step forward in the long-term management of the waste water from the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The dilution process will help ensure that potential environmental impacts are minimized, providing a safer and more sustainable solution for the disposal of this waste water.
