Fukushima nuclear power plant treated water, secondary discharge ``trace amount of radioactive material detected'' = South Korean report

TEPCO is said to be planning to begin a second discharge of treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant around the end of this month at the earliest, and some radioactive substances have been detected in the treated water in the secondary discharge storage tank. radiation
A radioactive substance is a substance that contains an unstable number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus, and emits radiation upon radioactive decay. Tank C for measurement and confirmation published by TEPCO on its website on the 23rd
Looking at the sample analysis results before the group release, trace amounts of four types of radioactive substances were detected, including carbon-14, cesium-137, cobalt-60, and iodine-129.
The measurement/confirmation tank is a facility that analyzes and stores treated water that has been purified using multi-nuclide removal equipment (ALPS/Alps) before being discharged.
Group C includes treated water that is discharged in a secondary manner, and samples were collected on June 26th. As a result of this analysis, levels of four of the 29 substances to be measured were confirmed to be above the detection limit.
However, all levels were well below the legal concentration limit. As a result of the analysis conducted by an external organization, the numbers were slightly different, but these four substances were measured in trace amounts below the legal concentration limit.
Ta. TEPCO stated, ``The results of this analysis, including not only the 29 species to be measured, but also the 39 substances we confirmed ourselves and tritium, were confirmed to meet the discharge standards.''
I made it. Meanwhile, Japan plans to release 31,200 tons of treated water four times until March next year. This amount is equivalent to approximately 2.3% of the treated water stored at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
