1 Situation of Storage and Treatment of ccumulated Water including Highly Concentrated Radioactive Materials at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (125 th Release) November 13, 213 Tokyo Electric Power Company 1. Introduction This document is to report the following matters in accordance with the instruction of Installment of treatment facility and storing facility of water including highly concentrated radioactive materials at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of the Tokyo Electric Power Company (Instruction) (NIS No. 6, June 8, 211), dated on June 9, 211. <Instruction> TEPCO should report to NIS the situation of storing and treatment of the contaminated water in the Power Station and future forecast based upon the current situation have to be reported to NIS as soon as the treatment facility starts its operation. lso, subsequently, continued report has to be submitted to NIS once a week until the treatment of the accumulated water in the Central Radioactive Waste Treatment Facility is completed. 2. Situation of storing and treatment of accumulated water in the building (actual record) Stored amounts in each unit building (Units 1 to 4 (including condensers and trenches)), and stored and treated amount in the ccumulated Water Storing Facility (including underpass area close to the High Temperature Incinerator Building), and other related data, as of November 12, are shown in the ttachment Forecast of storing and treatment (1) Short term forecast Water transfer is planned so that the levels of the accumulated water in Units 1&2 and Units 3&4 building will be maintained around at the level of OP. 3,, based on the stored amount in the ccumulated Water Storing Facilities and the operating situation of the radioactive material treatment equipment. Water is transferred to the Process Main Building and/or High Temperature Incinerator Building as ccumulated Water Storing Facilities. Treatment is implemented considering the situation of storage and transfer of ccumulated Water Storing Facilities. We assume stored amounts in each unit building (Units 1 to 4 (including condenser and trench)), 1

2 and stored and treated amount in the ccumulated Water Storing Facilities (including underpass area close to the High Temperature Incinerator Building), and other related data as of November 19, as shown in ttachment -2. (2) Middle term forecast Regarding accumulated water in Unit 1&2 building and Unit 3&4 building, from the viewpoint of reducing the risks of discharging to the ocean and leaking into the groundwater, it is necessary to keep enough capacity for the accumulated water in the building until its level reaches OP. 4, and to keep the accumulated water level lower than the groundwater level. On the other hand, based on the view of limiting inflow of underwater to buildings and reducing the amount of emerged accumulated water, we are planning to transfer accumulated water keeping its level in the building around OP. 3, considering water tank capacity. s for accumulated water of the Process Main Building and the High Temperature Incinerator Building, we are planning to treat the accumulated water considering the situation of construction of middle and low level waste water tanks, the operation factor of the radioactive material treatment instruments and duration for maintenance. We forecast stored amounts in each unit building (Unit 1 to 4 (including condensers and trenches)), and storing and treatment situations in the ccumulated Water Storing Facilities (including underpass areas close to the High Temperature Incinerator Building) for 3 months, as shown in ttachment -3. Stored amounts in each building and the water storage equipment are forecasted to be unchanged in case transfer and treatment were implemented as scheduled without rain. However, it would be subject to change depending on the operation factor of the radioactive material treatment instruments and so on. lso, the water treated at the radioactive material treatment equipment (fresh water and condensed salt water) can be stored in the middle and low level waste water tanks.
