FY2024 Sea Area Monitoring Results
(concentrations of tritium in seawater)
Tritium concentrations obtained sea area monitoring within a 3km of the power station are well below our operational index (discharge suspension level: 700Bq/L).

| Results of quick tritium measurement* | ||
|---|---|---|
| Round | Within a 3km of the power station | Within a 10km square in front of the power station |
| 1st | Max. 29 Bq/liter | Below the detection limit |
| 2nd | Max. 7.7 Bq/liter | Below the detection limit |
| 3rd | Max. 18 Bq/liter | Below the detection limit |
| 4th | Max. 9.0 Bq/liter | Below the detection limit |
| 5th | Max. 33 Bq/liter | Below the detection limit |
| 6th | Max. 48 Bq/liter | Below the detection limit |
*Measurement performed with a detection limit of approx. 10Bq/liter in order to obtain the results quickly.
Comparison of concentration of tritium in seawater
*1: This standard has been stipulated based on the calculation that if a person were to drink approximately 2L of the water coming out of the discharge outlet of a nuclear facility every day for one year, his/her exposure would be 1mSv.
*2: Source: Environmental Radioactivity and Radiation in Japan (Period: April 2019 to March 2022)
