DoomsdaysCW<p>The latest from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FukushimaDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaDiary</span></a>! </p><p>Declining Interest and Zero Successful Proposals in Tritium Removal Technology for ALPS Water<br>Steep Decline in Tritium Removal Proposals</p><p>TEPCO’s latest report on tritium removal technologies for ALPS-treated water highlights a drastic drop in submitted proposals over time. Since the call for technologies began in May 2021, the number of proposals has plummeted:</p><p> First round (2021): 65 proposals<br> Eighth round (2024): 7 proposals<br> Ninth round (2025): 2 proposals​</p><p>This sharp decline suggests a lack of viable technical solutions or diminishing interest from researchers and industry.<br>Zero Cases Passed Initial Evaluation in Recent Rounds</p><p> In early recruitment phases (2021-2022), 15 proposals passed the initial evaluation and moved on to secondary feasibility studies.<br> However, in the fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth, and ninth rounds, not a single proposal passed the initial evaluation.<br> In the most recent ninth round (July – December 2024), only two proposals were submitted, and both failed to meet TEPCO’s evaluation criteria​.</p><p>Why Are No Proposals Passing?</p><p>TEPCO’s report states that the submitted proposals failed due to:</p><p> Lack of technical justification for tritium separation methods<br> Inability to meet TEPCO’s separation criteria<br> Insufficient data to verify feasibility​.</p><p>The complete lack of successful proposals raises questions about whether a viable tritium removal solution exists at all. For now, it appears that controlled dilution and ocean discharge remain the only “practical approach”—despite ongoing concerns and criticism.</p><p>トリチウム除去技術の公募が低迷、成功例ゼロに<br>トリチウム除去技術の提案数が激減</p><p>東京電力の最新報告によると、ALPS処理水のトリチウム除去技術の公募に対する提案数が大幅に減少していることが明らかになりました。<br>2021年5月に公募が開始されて以来、提案数は以下のように推移しています:</p><p> 第1回募集(2021年): 65件<br> 第8回募集(2024年): 7件<br> 第9回募集(2025年): 2件​</p><p>この急激な減少は、技術的な課題の難しさや、研究機関や企業の関心の低下を示している可能性があります。<br>直近の募集では初期評価通過例がゼロ</p><p> 2021年~2022年の初期段階では、15件の提案が一次評価を通過し、二次評価(フィージビリティスタディ)に進みました。<br> しかし、第4回・第5回・第7回・第8回・第9回募集では、一件も一次評価を通過せず、成功例が完全に消滅しました。<br> 最新の第9回募集(2024年7月~12月)では、わずか2件の提案しか提出されず、両方とも基準を満たさず不合格となりました​。</p><p><a href="https://fukushima-diary.com/2025/02/declining-interest-and-zero-successful-proposals-in-tritium-removal-technology-for-alps-water/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fukushima-diary.com/2025/02/de</span><span class="invisible">clining-interest-and-zero-successful-proposals-in-tritium-removal-technology-for-alps-water/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ContaminatedWaterCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ContaminatedWaterCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FukushimaIsntOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaIsntOver</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ALPSSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ALPSSystem</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tritium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tritium</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEPCOLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TEPCOLies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JapanGovernmentFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JapanGovernmentFail</span></a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>[PDF] National Association of Marine Laboratories<br>Position Paper</p><p>Scientific opposition to Japan’s planned release of over 1.3 million tons of radioactively contaminated water from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FukushimaDaiIchi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaDaiIchi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearPowerPlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearPowerPlant</span></a> <br> disaster into the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PacificOcean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PacificOcean</span></a>. </p><p>December 2022</p><p>“The National Association of Marine Laboratories (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NAML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NAML</span></a>), an organization of more than<br>100 member laboratories, opposes Japan’s plans to begin releasing over 1.3 million tons of radioactively contaminated water from the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean commencing in 2023. This opposition is based on the fact that there is a lack of adequate and accurate scientific data supporting Japan’s assertion of safety.</p><p>"Furthermore, there is an abundance of data demonstrating serious concerns about releasing radioactively contaminated water.</p><p>“The Pacific Ocean is the largest continuous body of water on our planet, containing the greatest biomass of organisms of ecological, economic, and cultural value, including 70 percent of the world’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fisheries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fisheries</span></a>. The health of all the world’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OceanEcosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OceanEcosystems</span></a> is in documented decline due<br>to a variety of stressors, including climate change, over-exploitation of resources, and pollution.<br> <br>"The proposed release of this <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/contaminated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>contaminated</span></a> water is a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transboundary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transboundary</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transgenerational" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transgenerational</span></a> issue of concern for the health of marine ecosystems and those whose lives and livelihoods depend on them. We are concerned about the absence of critical data on the radionuclide content of each tank, the Advanced Liquid Processing System, which is used to remove radionuclides, and the assumption that upon the release of the contaminated wastewater,<br>‘dilution is the solution to pollution.’</p><p>“The underlying rationale of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dilution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dilution</span></a> ignores the reality of biological processes of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OrganicBinding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OrganicBinding</span></a>,<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bioaccumulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bioaccumulation</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bioconcentration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bioconcentration</span></a>, as well as accumulation in local seafloor sediments. Many of the radionuclides contained in the accumulated waste cooling water have half-lives ranging from decades to centuries, and their deleterious effects range from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DNADamage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DNADamage</span></a> and<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cellular" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cellular</span></a> stress to elevated <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cancer</span></a> risks in people who eat affected marine organisms, such as clams, oysters, crabs, lobster, shrimp, and fish. </p><p>"Additionally, the effectiveness of the Advanced Liquid Processing System in almost completely removing the over 60 different <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radionuclides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>radionuclides</span></a> present in the affected wastewater—some of which have an affinity to target specific tissues, glands, organs, and metabolic pathways in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LivingOrganisms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LivingOrganisms</span></a>, including people—remains a<br>serious concern due to the absence of critical data.</p><p>"The supporting data provided by the Tokyo Electric Power Company and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JapaneseGovernment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JapaneseGovernment</span></a> are insufficient and, in some cases, incorrect, with flaws in sampling protocols, statistical design, sample analyses, and assumptions, which in turn lead to flaws in the<br>conclusion of safety and prevent a more thorough evaluation of better alternative approaches to disposal. A full range of approaches to addressing the problem of safely containing, storing, and disposing of the radioactive waste have not been adequately explored, and alternatives to ocean dumping should be examined in greater detail and with extensive scientific rigor.</p><p>“NAML calls on the Government of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Japan</span></a> and International Atomic Energy Agency (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IAEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IAEA</span></a>) scientists to more fully and adequately consider the options recommended by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PacificIslandsForum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PacificIslandsForum</span></a>’s Expert Panel. We believe public policy decisions, regulations, and actions must keep pace with and make use of relevant advancements in our scientific understanding of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>environment</span></a> and human health. In this case, we believe policy makers have not fully availed themselves of the available science and should do so before making any final decisions on releasing this contaminated water into the Pacific. NAML members are unified in our concern about use of the oceans as a dumping ground for radioactively contaminated water and other <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pollutants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pollutants</span></a> because such actions can negatively affect the long-term health and sustainability of<br>our planet.</p><p>“We urge the Government of Japan to stop pursuing their planned and precedent-setting release of the radioactively contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean and to work with the broader scientific community to pursue other approaches [like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClosedLoop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClosedLoop</span></a> systems or binding radionuclides in concerete] that protect <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OceanLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OceanLife</span></a>; human health; and<br>those communities who depend on ecologically, economically, and culturally valuable marine<br>resources. “</p><p>Adopted by the NAML Board of Directors, December 12, 2022</p><p><a href="https://www.naml.org/policy/documents/2022-12-12%20Position%20Paper,%20Release%20of%20Radioactively%20Contaminated%20Water%20into%20the%20Ocean.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">naml.org/policy/documents/2022</span><span class="invisible">-12-12%20Position%20Paper,%20Release%20of%20Radioactively%20Contaminated%20Water%20into%20the%20Ocean.pdf</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OceansAreLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OceansAreLife</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IAEAHides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IAEAHides</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEPCOLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TEPCOLies</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FukushimaIsntOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaIsntOver</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDumping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoDumping</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearPowerPlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearPowerPlants</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RadioactiveWater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RadioactiveWater</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RethinkNotRestart</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PacificOcean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PacificOcean</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DataFalsification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataFalsification</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ALPSSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ALPSSystem</span></a></p>
