On January 30, 2024 local time, Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company said that as of January 17 this year, the average daily new nuclear-contaminated water at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in the 2023 fiscal year (April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024) was 80 tons. TEPCO said the fourth round of discharge of nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant will begin in late February 2024, with a total of 7,800 tonnes expected to be discharged, the same as the previous three**.
Since the launch of Japan's Fukushima nuclear sewage discharge plan on August 24 last year, three rounds of discharge have been carried out so far, with a total of 230,000 tons of nuclear sewage will be discharged into the sea, and the fourth round of discharge will be launched in late February this year. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released the first verification report of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant after its nuclear wastewater was discharged into the sea on Tuesday (30th), pointing out that the nuclear wastewater meets international safety standards.
The report considers that the infrastructure for monitoring the discharge is in place. They will continue to be verified on a regular basis, and the next one is expected this spring. According to Japanese media reports, the report also pointed out that the nuclear sewage was diluted with a large amount of seawater and then discharged, and almost no radioactive material was detected.
Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement stating that the IAEA's independent evaluation is important and that Japan** will continue to work for greater understanding of the international community's understanding of the treated water.
TEPCO started emitting emissions in August last year and plans to emit a total of 3120,000 tons of nuclear wastewater, and this year is expected to be discharged in seven times 5460,000 tons of nuclear wastewater.
China has repeatedly expressed resolute opposition and strong condemnation, pointing out that Japan has ignored the strong doubts and opposition of the international community and unilaterally forcibly discharged the sewage from the Fukushima nuclear accident into the sea, demanding that Japan stop it.
