Tepco in a sentence

If TEPCO does indeed dump waste into the precious ocean, I'd want to feed Harada, and all TEPCO employees and all their family members the fish caught from the areas where the dumps are to occur, if he so freely believes TEPCO has no other answers.

Announcing the end of the first phase of releasing 7,800 tons of the water on Sept. 11, TEPCO gave no date for the start of the second discharge.

Do you believe TEPCO’s data and claims given its history?

TEPCO was not honest about the severity of the disaster back in 2011.

TEPCO will be rigorous in overseeing the second round, an official told reporters at a briefing on Wednesday, while exercising "the utmost vigilance to ensure that there is no unintentional discharge" of treated water into the sea.

The release of contaminated water by the Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) has been on the cards since 2018 but it was repeatedly postponed until it finally received endorsement from the International Atomic Energy Agency in early July.

Yeh vows safety just like TEPCO did then proceeded not to raise the tsunami safety wall due to high costs.

Yet TEPCO maintains that releasing the wastewater is a necessity.

He had served as president of Tepco from 2002 to 2008 before becoming chairman.

If the radioactivity exceeds the safety limit then the robot must return to find another piece, but Tepco officials have said they expect the sample will prove to be small enough.

TEPCO concluded the mishap was caused by a lack of attention, checking and communication between the operator and workers on the ground.

TEPCO officials said that the inside of a planned entryway for the robotic arm is filled with deposits believed to be melted equipment, cables and other debris from the meltdown, and their harder-than-expected removal has delayed the plan.

Tepco, which is decommissioning the plant alongside the Japanese government, is using a robotic arm that looks like a fishing rod with a claw grip to remove a small sample of the nuclear debris.

The debris has radiation levels so high that Tepco has had to develop specialised robots that can withstand them to function inside.

The filtering machine involved in last week's incident is part of TEPCO’s controversial wastewater discharge project, which began in August.

The government and the Electric Power Company Holdings, or TEPCO, initially committed to start removing the melted fuel from inside one of the three damaged reactors within 10 years of the disaster.

The mix-up, which TEPCO called a “basic mistake,” triggered disappointment and raised concerns from officials and local residents.

The two-day probe using tiny drones was completed last week by Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, or TEPCO, which released the photos on Monday.

This is not the only error by TEPCO.

Japan and TEPCO must begin to consider other options to solve this problem.
