On the 23rd local time, a radioactive water spill occurred at the nuclear reactor “Fugen”, which is currently being scrapped and constructed in Japan. At around 20:00 local time, the Japan Atomic Energy Research and Development Agency held a press conference to introduce the radioactive water spill. The nuclear reactor “Fugen” belongs to the Japan Atomic Energy Research and Development Agency. It is a nuclear reactor that uses plutonium as fuel. It ceased operation in March 2003 and is currently being scrapped. According to information from Japan's Nuclear Regulatory Agency, water containing the radioactive substance tritium leaked during the dismantling of the nuclear reactor “Fuxian” facility. According to the Nuclear Regulation Authority, the amount of leaked water was about 20 milliliters, and the concentration of radioactive substances was considered high. Currently, it has been confirmed that the workers were not exposed to internal radiation due to inhalation, etc., but further investigation is still ongoing as to whether external radiation exposure was caused by being splashed with water, etc. Furthermore, no radioactive material was leaked outside the management area, and no abnormalities were found in the values of the facility and surrounding monitoring stations used to measure radiation doses.
