What is the new projected start year for full-scale removal of melted fuel debris at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant?
2037The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) announced that the full-scale removal of melted fuel debris at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant will be delayed until 2037 or later. This is due to the need for 12 to 15 years of preparation, including reducing radiation levels and constructing necessary facilities. The plant suffered meltdowns in three reactors after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, leaving over 880 tons of fuel debris. This delay pushes back the overall decommissioning target from 2051. The complexity of the operation and safety concerns are major contributing factors to the timeline extension.
