TEPCO told to watch out for more tank leaks

Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority has warned the operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi plant that more storage tanks could be leaking radioactive water.

On August 19th, Tokyo Electric Power Company discovered that about 300 tons of highly radioactive wastewater had leaked from a tank. Company officials said some of the water could have reached the sea through a ditch.

TEPCO officials told an NRA working group session on Friday that radioactive readings inside the ditch have been rising since August 27th. They said higher concentrations of strontium and other beta-ray emitting substances have been found in recent water samples taken from the ditch.
