Video Conference Briefing Session Regarding the Handling of Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS) Treated Water at TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station
July 19, 2023
On July 19, 2023, a video conference briefing session for diplomatic missions and others in Tokyo was organized regarding the handling of ALPS treated water at the TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS). 56 participants from 46 countries and region attended the session. It was the 122nd session after the FDNPS accident.
- In the session, considering that IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi visited Japan from July 4 to 7, Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained an overview of his visit, outline of “Comprehensive Report” that he presented to Prime Minister Kishida on July 4. Subsequently, Agency for Natural Resources and Energy explained for the details of this report, and TEPCO explained the Practical Arrangements for TEPCO’s exprerimental demonstaration of fish rearing in ALPS treated water between IAEA and TEPCO dated July 5 and starting up of the IAEA office in the area of TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, followed by a Q&A session with those in attendance.

[Reference 2] ALPS Treated Water
ALPS treated water is water which is processed by devices such as ALPS (Advanced Liquid Processing System) to ensure that the radioactive materials other than tritium surely meet the regulatory standards for safety. In addition, it is planned that ALPS treated water will then be sufficiently diluted before the discharges so that the concentrations of the radioactive materials including tritium will be far below the regulatory standards for safety.
