A team of experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) arrived in Japan on Monday to continue investigations into Japan's plan to discharge nuclear contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the ocean, according to Japanese media reports.
This latest visit by IAEA experts, which will last until June 2, will include meetings with Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Japan Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission to discuss the latest issues related to the discharge plan, and on-site inspections of the water discharge equipment at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
The IAEA experts began investigating the discharge plans in February last year. According to Japanese media, this is their last visit to Japan before the water is due to be discharged, and they will summarize their investigation results and publish a final report in June.
TEPCO's decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is still progressing very slowly, according to media reports.
The Tokyo Shimbun newspaper reported that TEPCO finally cut and removed approximately 13 meters of high-pollution pipeline between Units 1 and 2 of the power plant last Friday as part of work that began in March last year but was disrupted by the cutting device and other operational problems.
TEPCO plans to complete the demolition of the remaining 80 meters of pipeline by the end of June.
