Jiji Press : Up to 1 Ton of Tainted Water Leaks at Fukushima
Tokyo, April 13 (Jiji Press)--Up to one ton of radioactive water has leaked out of a plastic storage tank at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s <9501> Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, TEPCO said Sunday.
A total of 1,640 becquerels of radioactive cesium per liter were detected in the remaining water, the company said.
According to TEPCO, a worker of a partner company found a leak from the tank at a place some 700 meters away from the shore around 8:40 a.m. (11:40 p.m. Saturday GMT).
While the tank's lower part is damaged to allow tainted water to flow into the ground, a TEPCO official said the company does not believe the water has poured into the sea because no ditch exists around the area in question.
The water contained 440 becquerels of cesium-134 and 1,200 becquerels of cesium-137 as well as 1,400 becquerels of beta ray-emitting radioactive substances such as strontium-90, according to TEPCO.
