About that tritiated water: Who will decide and when?
Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant's storage tanks already hold 850,000 tons of contaminated water, the amount is rising daily and space is running out.
Fisheries group lodges protest against Tepco's failure to disclose leak of radioactive rainwater
The group representing Japan’s fishery cooperatives blasts Tokyo Electric for failing to reveal the jump in highly radioactive rainwater entering the sea from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant.
Tepco's task of regaining the trust of Japan's public will be just as difficult as resolving the technical challenges in the decades-long work of decommissioning the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant.
Fukushima No. 1 boss admits plant doesn't have complete control over water problems
The manager of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant admits efforts to control the radioactive water being churned out there are failing because they were planned in haste.
Around 1.1 tons of highly radioactive water overflowed from a waste container at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear complex while the experimental ALPS radiation-filtering system was being cleaned, Tokyo Electric Power Co. has reported. The overflow at the trouble-plagued water treatment system was noticed at ...
Abe mum on plan for contaminated water crisis
On his second tour of Fukushima No. 1, Prime Minister Abe recycles his "under control" claims from Buenos Aires, requests a deadline for filtering the radioactive water and urges the decommissioning of units 5 and 6.
Camera at reactor 1 finds water entry point
An entry point for some of the groundwater flooding the crippled Fukushima No. 1 plant is found at reactor 1.
Japan nuclear regulator raps Tepco's monitoring of toxic water tank
Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s inexact monitoring of contaminated water stored at Fukushima No. 1 may have led the company to overstate last week's storage tank leak, according to the Nuclear Regulation Authority. The loss of 300 metric tons that Tepco reported was based on an ...
Tepco yet to track groundwater paths
Tepco's radioactive water problems at its crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant seem uncontainable, ranging from leaking tanks to highly radioactive groundwater flowing to the sea.
An estimated 360 liters of radioactive water has leaked from a desalination unit at the ruined Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Friday. The utility said water did not leave the complex but did not disclose its radiation level. The leak ...
Fukushima No. 1 can't keep its head above tainted water
More than two years into the triple-meltdown crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, workers continue to wage a desperate battle to keep the stricken reactors cool while trying to contain the 400 tons of radioactive water produced by the process each day.
Around 120 tons of contaminated water with 710 billion becquerels of radioactivity probably leaked into the ground under the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, Tepco says.
