Twelve years have handed because the accident on the Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, and the decommissioning work is getting into an vital part as we transfer towards the beginning of the removing of gasoline particles, which is taken into account to be the best hurdle.
According to the medium- to long-term roadmap for the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station by the nationwide authorities and TEPCO, it would take as much as 40 years to finish the decommissioning, and the method is roughly divided into three levels as follows.
▼ Phase 1: Period till the beginning of removing of spent nuclear gasoline (inside 2 years).
▼ Phase 2: Period till the beginning of gasoline particles retrieval (December 2021).
▼Phase 3: Period till the top of decommissioning (30 to 40 years after the yr of the accident).
Based on this plan, it was assumed that the removing of “fuel debris” would have began by March 2023, 12 years after the accident, however the removing has not but began and is delayed.
