処理水放出、今年度３回目が終了　東電福島第１原発

　東京電力は１６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３回目の海洋放出を終えたと発表した。年度内に計７回、約５万４６００トンを放出する計画で、早ければ月内にも４回目を始める。
　３回目は６月２８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。（2024/07/16-12:35）

Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. said Tuesday that it has completed the third round of its discharges of tritium-containing treated water from its crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant into the sea in fiscal 2024.
   TEPCO plans four more rounds for the year ending in March 2025, aiming to release 54,600 tons of treated water in total for the year. The next round is expected to begin as early as this month.
   In the third round from June 28, about 7,800 tons were discharged from a point about 1 kilometer offshore from the plant through an underwater tunnel after being diluted with seawater.
   Since TEPCO began the water releases in August last year, levels of tritium, a radioactive substance, in seawater and fishery products monitored by TEPCO and the Japanese government have been far below government-set standards.
