This is follow-up information on the "water leak at a tank in the H4 area in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station" found on August 19.
As a result of the full inspections (appearance inspections and dose measurement) conducted on August 22 on the tanks in the areas other than the H4 area, we found tanks (Tank No.4 in Group B and Tank No.10 in Group A, both in the H3 area) each having a part locally showing a high dose rate.
Although no water dropping was found on the outside of these tanks, we are planning to transfer water inside the tanks to an RO waste liquid supply tank to reduce the risk of water leaks. The transfer is scheduled to be completed by September 17.
We have already started to transfer water inside Tank No.10 using a regular transfer line since August 29, and have already transferred some of the water into the RO waste liquid supply tank.
