New Facility Will Contribute to Drastically Reducing the Risks of Radioactive Water at Fukushima
A new radioactive water treatment system has been put into operation at Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
The new mobile system's daily capacity is enough to purify up to 300 tons of liquid from 60 kinds of radioactive particles. The system is capable of reducing the level of strontium by up to 0.1%, according to TEPCO, the Kyodo news agency reports. Even after the strontium has been removed, the contaminated water still needs to be processed through another water treatment facility at the plant that is capable of removing some 60 types of radioactive materials.
The radioactive wateris one of the main problems the NPP accident aftermath liquidators are facing.By filtering the water at the additional facility first, the utility hopes to reduce the risk of water containing high levels of strontium leaking from the storage tanks and seeping into the sea, according to Kyodo.
