Furthermore, the IAEA considers that the ongoing data quality assurance programme that is in place is key for ensuring the accuracy and the quality of the results of the monitoring programme. For the purpose of public reassurance, the IAEA encourages the continuation of sea area monitoring. The levels measured by Japan in the marine environment are low and relatively stable. The mission report can be found on the IAEA website 1/īased on the information provided by Japan, the IAEA acknowledges that no significant changes were observed in the monitoring results for seawater, sediment and marine biota, including fishery products, during the period covered by this report.
NUCLEAR REACTOR MELTDOWN JAPAN MELTING SERIES
This mission was the first in a series of missions that will be conducted under the IAEA’s review. From 14 to 18 February 2022, an IAEA mission visited TEPCO and METI in Japan to assess whether TEPCO’s plan to discharge treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi NPS into the sea is being implemented consistent with the relevant IAEA safety standards.

The IAEA notes the submission of the REIA and revised implementation plan by TEPCO, to the NRA, for regulatory review. In particular, the “Technical Strategic Plan 2021” devotes attention to solid waste management. The IAEA notes that the “Technical Strategic Plan 2021” presents a technical strategy from a medium- to long-term perspective that deals with the overall efforts for Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) to steadily implement decommissioning work at the Fukushima Daiichi NPS, in line with the goals set in the “Mid- to-Long-Term Roadmap” that was revised by the Government of Japan in 2019. Publication of the NDF’s Technical Strategic Plan 2021 The IAEA acknowledges the investigations, the preparatory work and the progress made to retrieve fuel debris deposited in the PCV of Unit 1. The IAEA recognizes the importance of conducting sufficient operational training at the JAEA Naraha Center, including mock-up tests that closely reproduce conditions at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS) recovery site.Īn underwater vehicle in the PCV of Unit 1 The IAEA notes that this equipment may play a central role in the experimental retrieval of fuel debris from Unit 2, the start of which was postponed for about a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
