The Government of Japan will be directly involved with radioactive water at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, rather than simply relying on the operator's levels rise, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (Shinzo Abe) said on Wednesday, calling it "urgent problems."
Now nearly two and a half later, in Tokyo Electric Power Company Fukushima Daiichi station, from the beginning of the clean-up of toxic water, has been plagued by the earthquake and tsunami submerged plant reactor meltdown threat limitations into the Pacific Ocean.
Fukushima disaster is the world's worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl, to get to grips with the clean-up has caused global concern delays.
"Contaminated water problem is that the Japanese people have a high level of interest, is a pressing issue to deal with," Abe told reporters, after the disaster, was attended by government task force.
"Rather than relying on the Tokyo Electric Power Company, the government will take measures," he said.
Abe said he ordered the emergency treatment of Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and water, and to ensure that Tokyo Electric Power Company to take appropriate action to deal with clean-up is expected to take more than 40 years, costing $ 11 billion.
Japanese leaders pledged to stop funding to deal with this problem, but the Ministry of Finance has asked the budget allocated to help solve the water problem, anonymity, officials told Reuters.
The Nikkei newspaper said that these funds will be used to freeze the soil to prevent leakage into the reactor building of groundwater - estimated cost of up to 4 billion yen ($ 4.1 million) project.
On Thursday, the Treasury will announce its ceiling ministries fiscal year beginning in April next year budget request.
Government initiatives seem to be in response to warnings by industry experts, the Tokyo Electric Power Company is unable to solve problems questioned safe decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is located 220 kilometers northeast of Tokyo (130 miles).
Practical, also known as the Tokyo Electric Power Company, has been widely criticized for its massive 2011 earthquake and tsunami destroyed the plant and cause it to fail have been criticized for their inability to prepare for disaster and to cover up shortcomings.
Dependence on imports
Tokyo Electric Power handling cleanup efforts in Japan to restart its 50 nuclear power plants, almost all of them after a disaster has been closed because of security problems are very complex.
This makes Japan's dependence on expensive imports of almost all fuels.
The country's nuclear watchdog, an official told Reuters on Monday that the Fukushima nuclear power plant from the highly radioactive water into the ocean, creating an "emergency", Tokyo Electric Power Company did not succeed in containing their own.
"In order to ensure safety, I would like to do our best to find out why and come up with effective measures, as a regulator of nuclear Authority head," Abe said.
Tokyo Electric Power pump out about 400 tons a day of groundwater flow from the nuclear power plant destroyed buildings, high-radiation water for cooling three reactors melted down into the basement of the fuel mixture in the hills above.
Tokyo Electric Power Company is trying to prevent groundwater reaches the factory set up a "bypass", but the recent spike in seawater radioactive elements prompting the utility to reverse months of denials and finally admitted, contaminated water reaches the sea.
Tokyo Electric Power Company and the Ministry of Industry has been since May proposal, frozen soil, in order to prevent groundwater from leaking into the reactor building. A similar technique is used to prevent groundwater flooding subway construction.
This technology presents a Japan's largest construction company, Kajima Corporation, which is already heavily involved in the cleanup.
However, experts say, the ground temperature, maintained for months, if not years, will be expensive.
"It is no detail (not the project) There is no blueprint, no anything, so there is no way we can look at it," said Shinji Kinjo, the nuclear regulatory body set up to deal with the problem of water in Fukushima task force head .
"It is incredibly difficult to completely prevent such groundwater, it would be better if they can pump clean water before it reaches the factory, said:" He Kotaro, researchers at the University of Hokkaido and groundwater experts.
