| Challenge | Status | |-----------|--------| | | Full-scale removal still 2–3 years away; technology not yet proven for bulk retrieval. | | Final waste disposal | No decision on location for high-level waste (vitrified debris). | | Treated water discharge | Total volume to be discharged: ~1.37 million m³. Will continue until ~2041. | | Plant dismantling | Completion target remains 2041–2051 , but delays likely. | | Worker safety | Cumulative radiation exposure limits approaching for some veteran workers. |
