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.

Lifting Of Cover Panels End At Fukushima Nuke Plant

FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN – OCT. 5: The last of six panels of the cover shrouding the No. 1 reactor building of the disaster-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was lifted on October 5. The lifting of cover panels, each of which is 42-meter long and seven-meter wide, started on July 28 as part of works to dismantle the plant. Tokyo Electric Power Co., the plant operator, said the next step will be a 1.5-year-long job to take away its wall panels and put on windbreak sheets instead, before trying to retrieve nuclear fuels from the pool by March 2021. The Fukushima plant caused serious melt down after hit by a mega earthquake and following tsunami on March 11 2011.
