The NSC continues to monitor sea areas and marine products during the Lunar New Year holidays!
Last Update: Jan 24, 2025
To properly respond to the Fukushima Daiichi ALPS (Advanced Liquid Processing System) treated water discharge, the Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) has established a cross-departmental platform to grasp the source information of discharge, strengthen radiation monitoring of sea areas and marine products, and develop a marine diffusion evaluation model to safeguard the radiation safety of our country’s surrounding waters and protect public health.
Since August 24th,2023, Japan has completed 10 batches of ALPS treated water discharges. To ensure information transparency, the NSC had released the "Progress Statement on Taiwan's Response to Japan's ALPS Treated Water Discharge" before and after each batch of discharges. Furthermore, to safeguard the radiation safety of Taiwan’s sea areas and protect public health, the NSC continued cross-departmental cooperation to conduct radiation monitoring for more than 4,500 pieces of seawater, fishery products, Japanese imported food, and environmental ecological samples from Taiwan’s surrounding sea area and high seas throughout 2023, and have yet to detect abnormal radiation levels in any of the samples.
The NSC continues monitoring marine and sea waters. All domestic and foreign information related to Japan's ALPS treated water discharge are compiled on our official website and "Ocean Radioactive Information System" (https://tworis.nusc.gov.tw/), for the public to inquire at any time. The NSC continues to monitor sea areas and marine products during the Lunar New Year holidays!
