TEPCO admits contaminated water leaking from multiple temporary storage pits at Fukushima Daiichi

TEPCO will likely have to review its temporary storage strategy, but so far has only released plans to continue monitor the levels of radioactive materials in the soil around the tank and look for a new storage location.  The Japanese utility believes that the radioactive water may have leaked out through joints in the tank’s seepage control sheets.

Masayuki Ono, a senior Tepco official, said at a news conference Sunday that it is difficult for the plant to store all of the radioactive water in the temporary tanks, which is why they were forced to keep the contaminated water in underground pits.
