Fukushima clean-up may take up to 40 years, nuclear plant's operator says | 11 Feb 2016 | Cleaning up Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, which suffered catastrophic meltdowns after an earthquake and tsunami hit in 2011, may take up to 40 years…Around 300 to 400 tons of contaminated water is generated every day as groundwater flows into the plant filled with radioactive debris. To contain the tainted radioactive water, Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) pumps up the water and stores it in tanks, adding a new tank every three to four days. There are 1,000 tanks today containing 750,000 tons of contaminated radioactive water.
