Tepco not able to meet deadline
Print Edition
THE operator of the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co, said it would not be able to meet a self-imposed deadline to decontaminate water containing highly radioactive substances by the end of March.
The admission by the utility known as Tepco is another setback in its struggle to cope with the contaminated water, which is mostly contained in hastily constructed tanks.
Tepco President Naomi Hirose visited officials at the Nuclear Regulation Authority yesterday to report that the company would not be able to process all the contaminated water by the end of March as promised.
“At our current pace we will complete it by mid May,” Hirose said.
Tepco has been fighting a daily battle against contaminated water since Fukushima was wrecked by an earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 and three reactors underwent meltdowns.
