海洋放出設備を認可　福島第１原発処理水―規制委

　東京電力福島第１原発から出る放射性物質トリチウムを含む処理水の海洋放出について、原子力規制委員会は２２日、必要な設備などを盛り込んだ東電の計画を認可した。
　東電は地元自治体の了承を得た上で、海底トンネルなど本体工事に着手し、２０２３年春までに放出に必要な設備を完成させる方針。ただ、風評被害への懸念は根強く、実際の放出に当たっては地元漁業者らの理解が必要となる。（2022/07/22-12:44）

Japanese regulators on Friday approved Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s plan to release treated radioactive water into the ocean from its disaster-crippled nuclear plant in Fukushima Prefecture.
   The plan includes building an undersea tunnel and others necessary to release the water containing radioactive tritium from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant that suffered a triple meltdown following the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
   TEPCO plans to begin construction work after obtaining approval from local governments and complete it by spring 2023.
   The company has the challenge of obtaining understating from local fishermen who are concerned over reputational damage to marine products over the water release plan.
   In December last year, TEPCO asked the Nuclear Regulation Authority to approve the plan.
