The review report by the IAEA is considered a follow-up to that advice. Contaminated water at the Fukushima Daiichi NPPs—continuingly generated during the cooling of fuel debris in the reactor buildings—is being purified using the Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS). The handling of the treated water containing t...more
