Part of the cooling system at Japan's tsunami-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has stopped for the second time in a month, the plant operator says.

After an alarm sounded at reactor number three, checks showed the system had stopped at one of the pools containing spent but highly radioactive fuel rods, Tokyo Electric Power said.

The breakdown is not thought to pose any immediate danger.

Last month a power cut shut cooling systems for four spent fuel ponds.

The company said a rat had damaged the electrics, causing a short-circuit in a switchboard and triggering the power cut.
