At the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, ALPS treated water, etc. (" " and ""), which is contaminated water that has been treated with multi-nuclide removal equipment (ALPS), is stored. And, water awaiting ALPS treated is also temporarily stored.
・ALPS treated water
Before each ALPS treated water discharge, we confirm that government standards for discharge into the environment have been met.
・Water to be re-purified
Before treated water to be re-purified is discharged into the sea, it is repeatedly purified with ALPS until government standards are met.

*Only completely filled tanks were used to calculate the amount, so this amount may differ from the entire amount of stored water.
Amount of ALPS treated water and water to be re-purified broken down by the sum of the ratios to regulatory concentrations limits (estimate)

- Sum may not be 100 because storage percentages have been rounded to integers.
Currently,
is being stored in tanks after most of the radionuclides have been removed, with the exception of tritium. Multi-nuclide removal equipment is capable of removing radioactive substances (excluding tritium) to the point where the concentrations of these substances are lower than
