Fishermen online Fukushima dumping at sea of underground water in the area
EFE Economy Tokyo 25 MAR 2014 - 9:52 CET
Fishermen in the region of Fukushima today gave its approval to discharge into the sea of groundwater extracted from the vicinity of the accident nuclear power , which will slow the accumulation of toxic liquid on the ground .
The filtrate from underground aquifers is one of the technical problems faced by the company operating the plant, TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power), as water enters the basement of nuclear installations , where it mixes with the refrigerant used to stabilize reactors , highly radioactive .
In summer last year the company admitted that for this reason a 300 tons per day of contaminated water ends up in the Pacific Ocean every day through the central pier .
The new system proposed by TEPCO and the Japanese government is pumped out groundwater before it reaches the ground lead , and will reduce the figure at around 100 tons per day , according to Japanese public broadcaster NHK .
The fishermen of Fukushima, the most affected by the nuclear disaster , decided to accept this as a meeting today with representatives of the authorities and the operating company of the ground , but demanded that certain conditions that the discharge does not affect activities.
In particular, they called for the establishment of rules for the extraction and discharge of groundwater, the appointment of an independent body to oversee the process and the launch of an information campaign about the safety of seafood in the area.
Representatives of the fishing cooperative and the Ministry of Economy and Industry described the decision as " difficult" and "hard " in respective statements to the Japanese at the end of the meeting means.
Meanwhile , the operator of the plant, Tokyo Electric Power ( TEPCO) , announced in February that would set strict security standards to ensure the dumping at sea of water from nuclear facilities such as the lower limit of tritium allowed.
Tritium is the only radioactive isotope so far is to try removing the water used for cooling the reactors .
This highly radioactive water , despite going through a purification process - is stored in temporary tanks, which accumulate more than a thousand plants in Fukushima, some of whom have suffered leaks that ended up in the sea.
The government estimates that the volume of contaminated water stored in tanks in the future will reach 800,000 tons .
Pollutant emissions from the plant, which was hit by the earthquake and tsunami that devastated northeastern Japan on March 11, 2011 , remain evacuated more than 52,000 people living near the plant and severely affected the agriculture, Local livestock and fishing.
