Receiving the order of Japanese Prime Minister Abe, Tepco stated they are going to complete treating all the contaminated water by the end of the term of 2014. They commented it is possible with the multiple nuclide removing system ALPS.

As Fukushima Diary has been reporting, the multiple nuclide system stopped only 2 months after the test operation started this Spring. They found several parts severely deteriorated.

At 0:04 of 9/27/2013, Tepco restarted the system (C line), but it stopped again at 22:37 of the same day. It was only 22 hours after the restart of test operation.
According to Tepco, the process to remove α nuclide had the problem to discharge the slurry. The cause is not verified yet.

Tepco places the system “ALPS” as the last hope with the frozen ground wall for the contaminated water problem, but they haven’t established the technology.
