Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority Reports on Conditions at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station
| 9 January 2014 |
On 9 January 2013, the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) of Japan provided the IAEA with an update on radioactivity in seawater at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS).
This update on the daily monitoring by TEPCO of seawater near
Fukushima Daiichi NPS indicates that the concentrations of all
radionuclides (i.e. Cs-134, Cs-137, total Beta and H-3) were relatively
stable from 25 December 2013 to 6 January 2014 at the sampling points
T-1 and T-2-1.
The sampling points T-1 and T-2-1 near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station are sentinels to assess effects on the environment by incidents including a leakage of contaminated water. The Nuclear Regulation Authority has been closely observing the results of TEPCO's monitoring of seawater at these sampling points. In addition, the NRA provided an update on the sea area monitoring results for radioactivity obtained from sea water samples taken at a distance of two to 200 kilometers from TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi NPS. http://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/2013/japan-basic-policy-full.html |
