FUKUSHIMA Lessons Learned
► Status at the plant on March 27:
Project roadmap (1/3)
Accumulation of radioactive waste water due to use of sea and fresh water to cool
down the reactors
If no solution is found, risk of overflow within 3 months
▶ The need expressed by TEPCO is a decontamination facility for
highly radioactive water:
With high decontamination factor: > 106 Bq/cm³
◆ Capable of processing at a high throughput: 50m³/hour
Small unit to be installed in an existant building
▸ Objectives on April 8:
Adapt the CEA/AREVA co-precipitation process of water treatment to the salted
contaminated water present in the buildings of the plant
Adapt VEOLIA's ActifloTM system to nuclear environment resulting in the Actiflo™-
rad system design
Fabrication, delivery of equipment, on-site assembly, and start-up of active
operation of the ActifloTM-rad system before end of June
