Fukushima Daiichi Status Updates
On 24 September 2014, Japan provided the IAEA with an update to current information on radioactivity in seawater at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS).
The update shows that all radionuclides (i.e. Cs-134, Cs-137, total Beta and H-3) have remained low and stable from 15 to 20 September 2014 at the sampling points T-1 and T-2-1. The NRA also provided an update on sea area monitoring results for radioactivity obtained from sea water samples taken at a distance of 2 to 200 kilometres from TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi NPS.
Japan's NRA has also provided the Agency with a news release on an incident involving a crack in a connection valve between tanks for concentrated water that TEPCO has reported on 17 September 2014.?

Close x Read Update →The Japanese Government has provided the IAEA with a report that summarizes the events and highlights the progress related to recovery operations at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The IAEA has provided its assessments which is contained in full at the end of the report.
Based on the sea area radioactivity monitoring results in all five areas and other related information that has been made available, the IAEA considers that the situation in the marine environment is stable but should continue to be monitored.
The IAEA considers that the multi-layered countermeasures could contribute to reducing the risks associated with groundwater ingress into the basement of the buildings, the continued accumulation of contaminated water to be treated and stored on site and the uncontrolled discharge of radioactivity into the sea.
Based on the information made available, the IAEA acknowledges that TEPCO is making progress towards achieving completion of the spent fuel removal from Unit 4 in line with the targeted schedule.
The IAEA considers that systems are in place and are being implemented that prevent food and agricultural products with levels of caesium radionuclides in excess of the legal limits from entering the food supply chain.
The Agency welcomes the Japanese Government's issuance of this information to the IAEA Member States and the public, detailing the current status of the recovery operations. The IAEA will continue to share such valuable information as it is provided.

The update highlights two reports submitted by TEPCO to the NRA regarding water leaks from top notch tanks to the dike surrounding these tanks at the Fukushima Daiichi NPS. The first TEPCO report on 2 June 2014 states that it stopped the water leaks from the top notch tanks and transferred 4 cubic metre of water remaining in a dike to another tank. The second TEPCO report, on 9 June 2014, states that the amount of water leaked from the two top notch tanks through the dike to the ground surface was estimated to be approximately 3.4 cubic metres at most.
Taking into account all information related to the water leaks thus far, the NRA considers the effects of water leaks to the sea area are unlikely to appear.
