Radioactive water leak at Fukushima plant

TOKYO, Japan - Handout photo shows radioactive water leaking to the sea from a crack in the wall of a pit near the water intake of the No. 2 reactor at the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima Prefecture on April 5, 2011. The photo was taken after the injection of ''water glass,'' or sodium silicate, by the plant operator into gravel areas beneath the pit's bottom, where radioactive water is believed to be seeping through, in an attempt to halt the leak. The water is colored white as the operator also poured in white bath agents to trace the route of flow. (Photo courtesy of Tokyo Electric Power Co.)(Kyodo)

Radioactive water flows into sea from Fukushima plant

TOKYO, Japan - Supplied photo taken April 5, 2012, shows a water treatment pipe at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex in Fukushima Prefecture, from which water contaminated with radioactive strontium leaked. The pipe part wrapped in plastic (C top) is where the leakage occurred. Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said the same day that about 12 tons of contaminated water leaked and a large portion had probably flowed into the Pacific Ocean.
