Mid-and-Long-Term Decommissioning Roadmap⚫ First adopted in December 2011, the Mid-and-Long-Term Decommissioning Roadmap clarified
that the Government of Japan (GOJ) lead the entire decommissioning effort.
⚫ Since then, GOJ revised the roadmap several times to set appropriate milestones and timeline.
⚫ Fukushima Daiichi Decommissioning is a continuous risk reduction activity to protect
the people and the environment from the risks associated with radioactive materials.
⚫ Safe and steady decommissioning is a prerequisite for reconstruction of
Fukushima.

2. ALPS Treated Water Discharge(Radiological Environmental Impact Assessment)

9

Why ALPS treated water must be discharged into the sea ?
➢ Decommissioning of FDNPS is premise of reconstruction of Fukushima, which iscontinuous activity to gradually reduce the risk of radioactive materials to thesurrounding area.
➢ The storage tanks exceed a thousand could be an obstacle to secure a site for theplanned decommissioning of the FDNPS.
➢ Also, maintaining tanks could pose other risks (aging and leakage due to a disaster).
➢ Therefore, it is necessary to properly discharge ALPS treated water into the sea.

10

Safety discharge of ALPS treated water➢ “ALPS treated water” is the water purified from contaminated water. The radioactive materials other thantritium are removed by ALPS to meet the regulatory standards for safety.

➢ After confirming concentrations of the radioactive materials will be far below the regulatory standard otherthan tritium, the water will be diluted more than 100 times by sea water.
➢ The total annual amount of tritium released into the sea is less than 22 trillion Bq/year. This is the upper
limit of the tritium discharged from TEPCO’s FDNPS before the accident.
➢ On July 22, 2022, the implementation plan for the installation of facilities for discharging ALPS-treated water
into the sea was approved by the regulatory authority as meeting the domestic law and the basic policy of
the GOJ.
➢ Before TEPCO can start the discharge of ALPS treated water, remaining processes, such as NRA’s Pre-Service
Inspections to check and confirm the installation status of the discharge facilities, will continue. The
discharge will not start until after these steps are duly taken.

11Ref; How to discharge the ALPS treated water into the sea➢ Concentrations of the radioactive materials will be far below the regulatory standard
values by 1) purifying/re-purifying the radionuclides other than tritium; and 2) diluting
by sea water.
➢ Discharge into the sea at the FDNPS will be monitored/reviewed by third parties such as
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Approx. 70% of water inthe tanks contain
nuclides exceeding theregulatory standards

The water will certainly
be purified to meet theregulatory standards(other than tritium)

Tritium will be less than 1,500 Bq/L;
and the nuclides other than tritium
will be less than 1% of regulatory
standards

Annual amount of tritium discharge: comparison with other countries➢ The total annual amount of tritium to be discharged will be at a level below theoperational target of the TEPCO’s FDNPS before the 2011 nuclear accident (22Trillion Bq/year), which is lower than the ones of many nuclear facilities both athome and abroad (see the diagram below).

Purification of radionuclides other than tritium➢ The existence of radionuclides itself is not an issue. What matter is the total radiation impact from all kinds ofradioactive materials in the water. The radiation level will be maintained below the regulatory standards to ensure thesafety of people and the environment.
➢ Regardless of the type of the facility (accident plants or operational reactors), the regulatory standards are set tocontrol the type of the total radiological impact of all the nuclides. (It is not a matter of nuclides or number of
nuclides, but the total radiological impact to human should be considered).
➢ Before 2018, purified water contains radionuclides of the water which exceed the regulatory limit due tooperational condition(around 70% of all the tanks at the FDNPS (around 0. 87 M tons/1. 30M tons)). After 2019, allof the water falls under the category i). These radionuclides other than tritium will be re-purified to below theregulatory standard by using ALPS again before the discharge.

i) 30%: Purified below theii) 70%: Radioactive materials in addition to tritium exist more thanregulatory standards except fortritium

Nuclides found in water from accident

Cesium, Strontium, Iodine, etc.

All of the above nuclides including nuclides foundonly in accident plants will be re-purified to meetthe regulatory standards other than tritium.
Furthermore, it will be diluted more than 100 times
before discharge.

Procedure of controlled discharge➢ In light of the Government’s Basic Policy, TEPCO applied, in December 2021, to NRA for its approval to amendsome items in the implementation plan in order to install the facilities for discharging the ALPS treated water
into the sea.
➢ On May 18, the NRA published a draft review results document on TEPCO’s application. After soliciting publiccomments on the document, the NRA approved the amendment of the implementation plan on July 22.
➢ TEPCO will receive NRA’s Pre-Service Inspections to confirm the installation status of the discharge facility. TEPCO
will revise the REIA report in response to relevant observations from the IAEA’s independent review. IAEA review
will be conducted before, during and after the discharge of the water.

Assessment of Radiological Impact on public and environment ②～ Effects on the public and the environment were minimal～➢ Results of the assessment on the public found that the exposure dose was approx. 1/70,000 to approx. 1/5,000 ofnatural radiation exposure (average in Japan : 2.1 mSv/year).
➢ Results of the assessment on animals and plants (flatfish, brown seaweed) found that the exposure dose wasapprox. 1/50,000 to approx. 1/20,000 of the derived consideration reference level (DCRL) defined by the ICRP.

Comparison of the Scale of Nuclear Power Plant Accidents Between
Chernobyl & Fukushima Daiichi NPS◼ The amount of cesium and iodine released at Fukushima Daiichi were around 10–40%
of Chernobyl. Radionuclides with long half-lives such as plutonium were only around 0.02–
0.1%.
◼ Compared to the Chernobyl, the Fukushima Daiichi has a small-scale high-concentration
contaminated area.
