Tepco gave up pumping up contaminated water beside 4 crippled reactors to discharge to the sea

Tepco is going to give up discharging the contaminated water pumped up from “sub-drain”, they announced in the press conference of 10/29/2014.
They revised the retained water processing plan on the assumption that they cannot use “sub-drain”.
Tepco restricted the stakeholders to be only the local fishing industry excluding other normal citizens so that they can obtain the discharging approval easily.
They expected to discharge from this November.
However having high level of radioactive material continuously detected, local fishing industry did not give Tepco the approval to discharge.
It was stated that it would have reduced the daily contaminated water flowing to the plant buildings by 200 t discharging the contaminated water pumped from “sub-drain”. Without “sub-drain”, over 100,000 t of the contaminated water would remain to be partially purified in the tanks by the end of 2014.
