Tepco decided in July 2019 that it would permanently close the facility, which means all 10 nuclear reactor units in the northeastern prefecture of Fukushima, including the six at Fukushima-Daiichi, will be decommissioned.
The company presented the outline of decommissioning plans to the municipal assembly of Tomioka, one of the two host towns of the nuclear station.
The utility estimated the cost of decommissioning Fukushima-Daini at 280 billion yen ($2.59bn).
According to the outline, the decommissioning process for Fukushima-Daini will have four stages, taking 10 years for the first stage, 12 years for the second stage and 11 years each for the third and fourth stages.
