The first analyzes of the level of radioactivity in the water of the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant after the start of its discharge into the sea on Thursday are conclusive, announced Friday Tepco, the operator of the plant which carried out these tests.
The level of radioactivity in the samples taken is in line with forecasts and below the ceiling set at 1,500 becquerels/litre, a Tepco spokesperson said. The Japanese standard for this type of spillage, modeled on the international standard, is 60,000 Bq/L.
