Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant finds second tank leak
2013-04-07 10:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Radioactive water has apparently leaked from another underground storage tank at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi power plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co said on Sunday. The utility, known as Tepco, said the volume of the latest leakage is believed to be small. On Saturday, it said as much as 120 tons of radioactive water may have leaked from another nearby storage tank. The plant's seven storage tanks are lined with water proof sheets meant to keep the contaminated water from leaking into the soil....

Reuters: The operator of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant said on Friday it lost the ability to cool radioactive fuel rods in one of the plant's crippled reactors for about three hours earlier in the day. It was the second failure of the system to circulate seawater to cool spent fuel rods at the plant in the past three weeks. Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) said it was alerted by an alarm that the cooling system for the No. 3 reactor had shut down at around 2:27 p.m. (0527 GMT) after a...

Japan: Fukushima Cooling System Fails for Second Time in a Month
2013-04-05 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The cooling system for a fuel storage pool at one of the reactors at the Fukushima nuclear plant has failed, Japanese regulators have said. There was no immediate danger from the failure, the second at the plant in a month, they said. The Fukushima plant was severely damaged by the March 2011 tsunami that devastated Japan's north-east coast and suffered multiple meltdowns. It is currently in the process of being decommissioned. A spokesman for the Nuclear Regulation Authority said an alarm...
