I apologize for the very brief news
report today. I have been very busy but managed to pull together
today's top news headlines.
NRA, TEPCO heads meet over problems at Fukushima
The head of Japan's nuclear regulating body has summoned the president of Tokyo Electric Power Company to hear how the utility intends to prevent additional trouble at the crippled Fukushima plant.
Nuclear Regulation Authority Chairman Shunichi Tanaka met Naomi Hirose, president of the operator of the Fukushima nuclear power plant on Monday.
Tanaka asked Hirose what TEPCO plans to do to prevent radioactive water leaks and other problems at the plant.
Hirose later said he told Tanaka that he plans to send workers from other parts of the utility firm, including the idled Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear plant, to the Fukushima Daiichi plant.
Hirose said he also told Tanaka that his firm will provide support to the workers to ensure that they can make full use of their skills.
Govt. reviewing underground nuclear disposal plan:
Japan's industry ministry has long planned to bury spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive waste from power plants deep underground. But the search for storage locations has been in vain so far, leaving the permanent disposal of high-level waste in limbo.
The ministry has now set up a panel to reexamine the safety of the underground storage plan. It is the first review in 14 years.
On Monday, experts from 8 academic societies specializing in earthquakes, seismic faults, groundwater and other fields, held their first meeting.
At the panel, officials from a body in charge of nuclear waste management said that underground disposal is still considered safe, even with knowledge acquired after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan.
ALPS partially restarted in Fukushima plant:
The operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has resumed its trial run of a key water decontamination system. It was shut down due to malfunctions.
Tokyo Electric Power Company on Monday began test-running one of 3 channels of the Advanced Liquid Processing unit, or ALPS. ALPS is capable of removing 62 different kinds of radioactive substances, excluding tritium.
Operation of the channel was suspended in June following leaks of unprocessed radioactive water.
TEPCO engineers discovered holes in the tank storing the contaminated water. Corrosion is apparently to blame. Work to prevent corrosion has been ongoing in all 3 channels of the ALPS system.
A test-run of another ALPS channel began about a month ago. The remaining channel is scheduled for a trial-run mid November.
