The operator of the emergency Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant discharges low-level radioactive water, but in very large quantities
According to the company’s materials, the concentration of tritium in the water to be discharged is 55-77 becquerels per liter, which is significantly less than the established standard of 1,500 becquerels per liter. The total volume of water released from the emergency Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant in Japan during the 2023 fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2024, will be 31.2 thousand tons with a radioactive tritium concentration of 5 trillion becquerels.
