Situation of and Treatment of ccumulated Water including Highly Radioactive Materials at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (337th Release) January, 8 Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc.. Introduction This document is to report the following matters in accordance with the instruction of Installment of 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, ), dated on June 9,. <Instruction> TEPCO should report to NIS the situation of storing and treatment of the contaminated water in the Power Station and the future forecast based upon the current situation has to be reported to NIS as soon as the 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.. Situation of storing and treatment of accumulated water in the building (actual record) Stored amounts in each unit building (Units to 4 (including condensers and trenches)) and stored and treated amounts, and other related data in the ccumulated Water Storing Facility as of January 8, 8, are shown in the ttachment -. 3. Forecast of storing and treatment () Short term forecast Water transfer is planned so that the levels of the accumulated water in Units and and Units 3 and 4 building will be maintained around at the level of TP.,564, 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 andor High Temperature Incinerator Building as ccumulated Water Storing Facilities. Treatment is implemented considering the state of storage and transfer of ccumulated Water Storing Facilities. We assume stored amounts in each unit building (Units to 4 (including condenser and trench)), and stored and treated amounts, and other related data in the ccumulated Water Storing
Facilities as of January 5, 8, are shown in ttachment -. () Middle term forecast Regarding accumulated water in Units and buildings and Units 3 and 4 buildings, 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 TP.,564 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 TP.,564 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 (Units to 4 (including condensers and trenches)), and storing and treatment situations in the ccumulated Water Storing Facilities for the next 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.
