ICUS (formerly EICC) uses DiaCCon diamond electrodes to clean radioactive oil/water mixture from the damaged facilities in FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI.
JAPAN: In 2011, the tsunami triggered by an earthquake caused one of the largest nuclear disasters ever. We are talking about the nuclear reactor accident at FUKUSHIMA in Japan. As a result, large areas and large quantities of water and other liquids were radioactively contaminated. The clean-up work on site has been going on for years and requires great care and extensive technical know-how.
The company ICUS (formerly EICC) has set itself the task of treating radioactively contaminated oil/water mixtures and has chosen advanced oxidation with diamond electrodes from DiaCCon as the cleaning process. The system with 20 square meters of diamond electrodes has now successfully gone into operation and is playing a part in the FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI decommissioning project.
DiaCCon is very proud to be part of this extremely demanding project and would like to thank ICUS for the excellent cooperation.
