Implementation of the monitoring of the sea area surrounding the nuclear power plant.
As problems, such as the leakage of contaminated water occurred frequently, the measures are being reinforced by, for example, increased frequency in measuring the radioactivity of the seawater ("sea area monitoring") in the sea area surrounding the nuclear power plant.
