These
three photographs of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant show the
spread of the tank farm required to contain the contaminated water
accumulating at the crippled nuclear power complex.
After getting the approval of
fishery cooperatives in Fukushima Prefecture last Friday, Tokyo Electric and
the Japanese government have announced that they will begin pumping
groundwater at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on Wednesday.
The fishery cooperatives gave
their approval of the groundwater release plan as long as the groundwater
released into the Pacific Ocean meets environmental safety standards and a
third party is involved in the inspection and discharge operations.
While the government and the utility agreed that a third party will join in
the process, no nominations have been made for who that third party will be.
The fishermen also demanded
that the government assume responsibility for any damage from rumors about
the fishing industry.
Workers at Fukushima Daiichi
hope to pump groundwater flowing from the mountains near the plant before it
mixes with highly contaminated water in the basements of the crippled reactor
buildings, but do not know the levels of contamination that the water will
have.
The utility says it will
immediately start preparations, begin pumping water by Wednesday, but it will
take around thirty days to analyze the groundwater prior to release.
According to the government and
the utility, the pumping plan is essential to partially dealing with the
volume of contaminated water accumulating for storage on-site.

Engineers from Tokyo Electric
held discussions with officials from the Japanese government on Monday where
they communicated that they are running out of room to store contaminated
debris at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. According
to estimates provided by the engineers, more than 560,000 cubic meters of
debris will be produced from decommissioning activities over the next 13
years.
Tokyo Electric believes that
they can reduce some 340,000 cubic meters of debris by burning wood debris and
other combustible materials and crushing contaminated rubble to use to pave
roads within the plant. The utility says that they can store 60,000
cubic meters in existing storage facilities at the plant, but will need to
find at least 160,000 cubic meters of additional storage space.
