NPP Fukushima Daiichi

TEPCO has started dumping the ninth batch of Fukushima water into the ocean

China and Japan held technical consultations on the issue of draining Fukushima water

Fukushima - China and Japan hold consultations
Japan and China held a consultation last month on the dumping of tritium-contaminated water into the ocean from the site of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
This is stated in an article published in the Japan Times. In accordance with the terminology adopted in Japan, the original article calls the water as treated, not as contaminated with tritium.
At the meeting, as sources close to the topic told reporters, the issue of China ban on imports of marine products from Japan was also discussed.
The consultation was organized online. It is claimed that the parties were unable to make significant progress, as China, despite Japan request, kept the import ban in force.

Fukushima water - NRA gave the go-ahead
Japanese Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NRA) has approved TEPCO plan to dump tritium-contaminated water accumulated at the site of the Fukushima Daiichi emergency nuclear power plant into the ocean.
The official approval was preceded by a 30-day public comment period.
The contaminated water is stored at the site in about a thousand tanks. This is water purified after passing through a specialized ALPS system, which is capable of removing most radioactive isotopes, except tritium.
The volume of stored water is gradually increasing, despite all efforts to reduce the rate of its accumulation. Now it is about 1.37 million cubic meters. According to forecasts, the existing tanks will be fully filled in the middle...

Fuel removal from SFP-3 at Fukushima-1 completed
The removal of fuel from the Unit 3 spent fuel pool commenced on April 15, 2019 with the objective of completing it during FY2020 in accordance with the Mid- and-Long-term Roadmap.
February 28 at 1:59 PM, at the end of the 84th fuel removal session, the final six fuel assemblies from the spent fuel pool were removed from their transport containers and placed into the fuel rack in the common pool thereby completing this project.
The removal of fuel from the Unit 3 spent fuel pool consisted of a series of preparatory tasks that were completed one by one, such as the removal of rubble from, and decontamination of, the uppermost floors of the reactor building, the construction of a fuel removal cover...

Fukushima Daiichi - Drop in Water Levels
On February 18, as parameters, such as primary containment vessel water levels and temperature, were being monitored, the Unit 1 primary containment vessel experienced a drop in water level.
As a result, other parameters were checked and it was found that some of the temperature gauges in the primary containment vessels for Unit 1 and Unit 3 have been showing decreasing trends since February 15 and February 17, respectively.
Therefore, we have been assessing related parameters since February 18, and today February 19 we determined that water levels in the Unit 1 and Unit 3 primary containment vessels are decreasing.
Furthermore, since no significant fluctuations...

Fukushima brings together Tokyo, Seoul and Beijing
Some commentators like to use arithmetic to compare various international organizations. If we add up the annual GDP of China (the world's second largest economy), Japan (the third largest economy) and South Korea (whose GDP is nothing to sneeze at) and compare the sum to the GDPs of the G8, which also includes Japan...nothing will happen. This is a senseless exercise because regional and international organizations are not created to flex muscles - economic or otherwise.
The GA is merely a top-level forum for discussing and regulating the ongoing formation of a common economic space in this part of the world. ASEAN performs a similar function in Southeast Asia. The purpose of these organizations is completely clear. The G8, meanwhile, appears no longer to serve a purpose.
But the GA is a special case. There are few organizations in the world where the members have such long-standing animosity toward one another. For example, while Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak have agreed on new plans for cooperation.
