Video Conference Briefing Session to the Government of the Republic of Korea Regarding the Handling of Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS) Treated Water at TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.

1. During the briefing, following the communications in the briefing session organized on July 25 and Aug 7, the Japanese side provided supplementary explanations and additional information on technical aspects. These were followed by a Q&A session with those in attendance.
2. All related Ministries and Agencies of the Government of Japan will continue to work together to explain thoroughly the safety of ALPS treated water and the situation of the FDNPS to the international community in a transparent manner. 

[Reference] 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.
