TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant ALPS Treated Water Monitoring Results after Discharge into the Ocean (17 September – 19 September 2023)

●TEPCO
On 19, 18, and 17 September, the monitoring results of tritium concentration in seawater collected from 10 locations within 3km of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant confirmed that tritium concentration was below the lower limit of detection at all monitoring points.

●the Japanese Government Fisheries Agency
In the morning of 19, 18 and 17 September, the results of monitoring of tritium concentration in halibut caught from 4km north of the ALPS treated water discharge point and 5km south of that discharge point confirmed that tritium concentration was below the lower detection limit at all the monitoring points.

The Government of Japan is conducting three types of monitoring (monitoring of treated water in tanks, real-time monitoring, and sea area monitoring) in a multilayered manner with the involvement of the IAEA. The IAEA also conducts sea area monitoring.
These monitoring results can be accessed at any time in the following websites;
