Fukushima Daiichi NPS Prompt Report 2015

70,000 per year, all the radiation data are now posted on Japanese website.

TOKYO, August 20 - Fulfilling a commitment made earlier this year, the Tokyo Electric Power Co. significantly increased the quantity of sampling data to be disclosed about radiation concentrations at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.

The company made the commitment after questions had been raised about the adequacy of disclosing certain data that resulted from testing water quality in a drainage channel. The new policy is intended to demonstrate the company's commitment to sharing information with the community.

The quantity of data points is expected to increase to 70,000 per year from approximately 50,000. Where practical, the company will continue its efforts to provide context for the most significant data, including explanatory statements, graphs, or maps.

The commitment to enhance disclosure was made by TEPCO's leadership earlier this year, and was positively commented on by the Nuclear Reform Monitoring Committee, an independent group providing oversight for TEPCO's Nuclear Safety Reform Plan.
