Press Release (Sep 10,2013)Invitation of an External Professional, to the Contaminated Water and Tank Countermeasures Headquarters
On August 26 this year, we set up the "Contaminated Water and Tank
Countermeasures Headquarters." Today, we have determined to invite Mr.
Lake H. Barrett (former US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and former US
Department of Energy), an overseas expert familiar with clean-up and
decontamination technology, as an outside expert to the "Contaminated
Water and Tank Countermeasures Headquarters."
Based on his international knowledge and experience, acquired by
engaging in control of the Three Mile Island accident at the US Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, he will participate in the meetings of the
Contaminated Water and Tank Countermeasures Headquarters and each
project team, and will provide advice regarding decontamination issues
such as contaminated water countermeasures at the request of TEPCO.
We recognize that bringing the contaminated water under control is
the most urgent and serious issue that we must address. Supported by the
Japanese government, and utilizing the immense amount of expertise
provided by professionals around the world, all of us at TEPCO will
strive relentlessly to rectify this issue.
