After 10 years from the disaster
Revitalization in Fukushima has been making steady progress. The evacuation order was partially lifted for Futaba Town where all residents had been evacuated and there was the opening of theGreat East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Memorial Museum as well.
On the other hand, the path to revitalization is still long and difficult. Due to the unprecedented coumpound disaster, many people are still evacuated. In addition, other disasters such as Typhoon
Hagibis, the Fukushima-oki (offshore) Earthquake, which occurred in February 2021, and the effects of COVID-19 have caused an enormous impact amid our revitalization efforts.

During the second reconstruction and revitalization period, it is important to flexibly and steadily respond to thecontinuing and latent issues while also working in parallel on measures against the damage by natural disasters andthe effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is to ensure that reconstruction and revitalization are not delayed.
Revitalization is moving into a new phase in the second reconstruction and revitalization period

Fukushima Daini NPSTokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. submitted a decommissioning plan to the
Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) for approval in May 2020. It also submitted a request
to Fukushima Prefecture and the towns where the power station is located for priorunderstanding about the decommissioning of Fukushima Daini.
 NRA has been reviewing the plan.
 The Association for Monitoring the Safety in Decommissioning has been confirming
the content of the request.

Contaminated water is being generated from the coolingof fuel which has melted (fuel debris) by the nuclear
accident by the rainwater and groundwater flowing into
the reactor buildings. ALPS treated water, in which mostof the nuclides except tritium are removed using ALPS
and other equipment, is being stored in tanks on the
grounds of the Fukushima Daiichi NPS.
