[quote:RadChick:MV8yNTg3MDQzXzQ1MTEyMjg2X0IzQzI5RjBC] Since TEPCO is [b]using seawater[/b] for many of its cooling needs at the power plant, it has previously encountered [b]heightened levels of corrosion[/b], in sensitive equipment. The cooling system at various reactors has also been beset by calamities – from rats short circuiting the control panel and forcing a blackout, to an employee “accidentally” switching it off, though all were resolved before rod pools overheated. At the same time, TEPCO is struggling to deal with [b]ever-increasing volumes of contaminated water which is being stored in hundreds of tanks at the facility and frequently leaking and contaminating the soil beneath it.[/b] And the much publicized plan to stop contaminated water from leaking into the sea by building an ‘ice-wall’ and freezing soil and water around the facility is not working as well as Japanese officials had hoped. ^^ Yeah it was a total failure, because it WON'T FREEZE.

Direct trans from Asahi:
TEPCO the 6th, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Unit 5 spent fuel has announced that it has stopped the cooling of the pools that store. Cooling water because the water leak is found from the pipe to capture the cool sea water.
 10 at around 11 am on the 6th, the reactor building of TEPCO employees patrolling water from leaking from a pipe in the found. Had leaked that auxiliary cooling seawater system, it was piping system to capture the seawater to cool the turbines and pumps. Of water leaking radioactive material concentration of low, TEPCO is expected to seawater. There was no leak in the patrol at the time of the morning the day before.
