[PDF] Revelation of Endless N-damage Cover-ups: the “TEPCO scandal” and the adverse trend of easing inspection standards
Nov./Dec. 2002
Citizens' Nuclear Information Center"There has been a series of significant nuclear accidents over the past few years. To name a few, there was the #Monju sodium leakage acci-
dent in December 1995, the #Tokai #reprocessing plant asphalt drum explosion accident in March 1997, and the JCO criticality accident in
September 1999. On each occasion, the electric companies claimed that the nuclear power plants are operated with strict safety management. Since August 2002, however, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the largest electric utility in the nation and several other electric companies have plunged into a chain of scandals."https://www.nirs.org/wp-content/uploads/reactorwatch/accidents/nit92.pdf

#Japan announces date for #Fukushima #radioactive #water release
August 2023
"As of 8 June 2023, there were 1,335,381 cubic meters of radioactive wastewater stored in tanks, but due to the failure of the #ALPS (Advanced Liquid Processing System) processing technology, approximately 70% of this water will have to be processed again. Scientists have warned that the #radiological risks from the discharges have not been fully assessed, and the biological impacts of #tritium, #carbon14, #strontium90, and #iodine129, which will be released in the discharges, have been ignored.
"The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) endorsed Japan’s plans for discharge. However, the IAEA has failed to investigate the operation of the ALPS, has completely ignored the highly radioactive fuel debris that melted down which continues every day to contaminate ground water – nearly 1000 cubic meters every ten days. Furthermore, the discharge plan has failed to conduct a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment, as required by its international legal obligations, given that there is a risk of significant transboundary harm to neighboring countries. The IAEA is not tasked with protecting the global marine environment but it should not encourage a state to violate it."
