Areva SA will deliver a decontamination unit to Japan’s crippled nuclear power plant, where Tokyo Electric Power Co. is removing radioactive water so it can start repairing cooling pumps and power systems.
Areva will set up the water treatment plant, which separates and recovers radioactive particles, at the Fukushima site, the French nuclear operator said today in a statement. Tepco, as the Japanese company is called, wants to start using the unit by June, Junichi Matsumoto, a general manager, said at a press briefing in Tokyo.
