今年度２回目の放出終了　東電福島第１原発の処理水

　東京電力は４日、福島第１原発にたまる放射性物質トリチウムを含む処理水の今年度２回目の海洋放出を終了したと発表した。年度内に７回、計約５万４６００トンを放出する予定で、早ければ月内にも３回目を始める。
　２回目は５月１７日から開始。約７８００トンの処理水を海水で薄め、海底トンネルを通じて約１キロ沖合に流した。
　東電や国などは昨年８月の放出開始以降、海水や水産物のトリチウム濃度測定を行っているが、国の基準値を大幅に下回っている。（2024/06/04-12:30）

Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. said Tuesday that it has completed as planned the second round of the fiscal 2024 release of treated water from its crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant into the ocean.
   TEPCO will start the third round as early as later this month, as it plans to discharged a total of about 54,600 tons of the treated water, which contains small amounts of radioactive tritium, in seven rounds in the year through March 2025.
   In the second round, which began on May 17, about 7,800 tons were discharged from a point about 1 kilometer from the plant through an underwater tunnel after being diluted with seawater.
   Since the water release began in August last year, tritium levels in seawater and fishery products monitored by TEPCO and the Japanese government have been well below government-set standards.
