IAEA’s Grossi joins seawater sampling at Fukushima Daiichi
International cooperation in the monitoring of radiation levels in seawater near the disabled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant continues. Scientists from China, South Korea, and Switzerland were recently joined by International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi as they collected seawater samples under the “additional measures” framework, which was adapted in 2024 to increase the participation of other countries and enhance the transparency of the IAEA-led analyses.

Dealing with problems of corrosion in a tritiated medium requires a thorough knowledge of this medium. This knowledge starts with a description of the various processes, i.e., the manufacture of tritiated end products and waste reprocessing. These operations make use of loops that are exposed to the corrosive media throughout the various continuous or batch processes. The problems of corrosion in several installations are dealt with by various resources, methods, or techniques directly adapted to these installations. These are physicochemical analyses to ascertain the composition of the concentrated or diluted tritiated media (water, gas), characterization of surfaces of superalloys or stainless steels in the tritiated media, in-depth televisual examinations of the process itself, and examinations of components corroded in the manufacture of tritiated products or in dismantling.
