Japan Nuclear Fuel Limited


The reinstallation of the buoy which was found adrift on June 11 was completed at approximately 12:50 today. The broken chain and the anchor block to which it was attached were lifted by crane onto the deck of a service vessel, where the chain was replaced and attached to the buoy. The anchor, chain and buoy were then returned to the sea.

As a precautionary measure, the chains used to anchor the rest of the buoys will also be replaced in the near future.
