Coming into a decade since 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 full opening of the Fukushima Robot Test Field as well. On the other hand, the path to revitalization is still long anddifficult. Due to the unprecedented compound disaster, more than 37,000 people are still evacuated. In addition, other disasters such as Typhoon
Hagibis and COVID-19 have caused an enormous impact amid our revitalization efforts.

○As the "Act Partially Amending the Act for Establishment of the Reconstruction Agency and Other Laws" was passed, structures such asorganizations, systems and financial resources have been established to support the revitalization efforts after the end of the Reconstruction
and Revitalization Period.
Revitalization is moving into the next phase in 2020.

The Prefecture is aiming to become one of the healthiest prefectures in Japan by implementing the Fukushima Health Management Survey and Projects for a Long and Healthy LifeThe Fukushima Health Management Survey is being implemented to understand the health of residents, in order to maintain and improve their health into the future.

◆Basic Survey◆Thyroid Ultrasound Examination

Self-administered questionnaires: 27.7%[568,331 respondents/2,055,248 subjects]＜Results of estimate on external exposure dose＞【All citizens surveyed】
Ratio of dose from 0 to 2mSv accounts for 93.8% of all.
※Estimate of external exposure dose for the 4 months from thenuclear accident (March-July2011)

Citizens aged 18 or younger at the time of thedisaster (About 380,000 persons)※Primary Examination （April 2011 - March 2014）
Full-scale Examination （April 2014 - present）
Primary Examination: Ultrasound Examination
Secondary examination: Thorough thyroid ultrasoundexamination and blood testing

The Projects for a Long and Healthy Life will try to respond to various health issues caused by changing environments after the disaster.
 Encouraging healthy thinking among residents.
 Educating the next generation through childhealth promotion programs.

The easy to use and fun "Fukushima
Healthy App" helps residents toacquire a healthier lifestyle

The current decommissioning status of TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi (F1) and Daini (F2) Nuclear Power Stations (NPS) and disposal of tritiated water◆ About the tritium containing treated water・ The generation of contaminated water was reduced
from approx. 540m³/day (May. 2014) to approx. 180m³(average in FY2019) by the implementation of a multilayered approach including: pumping up groundwaterby Subdrain and installing the Land-side frozen soil
wall. However, the treated water which is created bypurifying the contaminated water is being generatedTanks at F1NPS
continuously. Therefore, the tanks expected to reach Current situation of treated water
full capacity in summer 2022, and appropriate space at F1NPS (as of 25 June, 2020)
Number of tanks: 1,006 tanks
to install additional tanks is limited.

◆ Disposal Method

Storage volume in the tanks approx.
1.21 million ㎥

According to a report by the Subcommittee on Handling of the ALPS Treated
Water, two methods were proposed: ① Discharge into the Sea ②Vaporization
into the atmosphere. Prevention of reputational damage was also considered.
Source: Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry

Also, based on the report, the government is holding hearings with a wide varietyof people such as local governments and agriculture, forestry, fisheries operators.

【Reference】
Revision of the Mid-and-Long-Term Roadmap was approved at the national InterMinisterial Council for Contaminated Water and Decommissioning Issues (27 Dec.
2019)
【Main revisions】
・Fuel debris→ Start trial retrieval from the first unit (Unit 2) by 2021
・Fuel removal from → Complete fuel removal from Unit 1 through 6
the spent fuel poolby 2031【Challenges and Responses】

TEPCO submitted a notice for decommissioning of all reactors at the F2NPS(Units 1 to 4) to the Minister of the Economy, Trade, and Industry in Sep. 2019

 Requests to the national government and TEPCO (The handling of treated watercontaining tritium):<Decommissioning Process>[Stage 1]
Dismantling Preparation Period[System decontamination andbeginning of Spent fuel removal][Stage 2]
Peripheral facilities dismantling period[Dismantling of facilities around thereactor and completion of spent fuelremoval][Stage 3]
Reactor Dismantling Period[Stage 4]
Reactor Building
Dismantling Period

The period to complete the decommissioning of the reactors is expected to be 44 years. The complete
process will be divided into 4 stages to carry out the decommissioning.
（Source by TEPCO ）（Source: The Subcommittee on Handling of the ALPS Treated Water Report 10 Feb. 2020 ）It is necessary to have continuous surveillance carried out by the association formonitoring of safety in decommissioning to ensure decommissioning progresses
steadily and safely.

① Responsibly work to present clear measures against harmful rumours and spread
accurate information about tritium.
② Work not to generate new harmful rumours towards the Prefecture's agriculture,
forestry, and fisheries industry and tourism industry due to the handling of thetreated water.
③ Carefully hear opinions from a wide variety of people such as agriculture, forestry,
and fisheries operators or local governments.
