Japanese Company Admits that Fukushima Plant Still Leaking into the Pacific
The largest nuclear disaster since Chernobyl happened more than two years ago at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan. If you thought the radiation leak was contained by now, think again. Top officials at the Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) which runs Fukushima, admitted for the first time this week that the plant is still leaking radiation into the Pacific ocean.
The company had refused to acknowledge the leak over months of accusations. Even though it finally admitted to the leak, the company maintains that contamination has remained localized around the plant, and not spread very far into the ocean.
Additionally, the company revealed that ten times more workers were exposed to excessive levels of radiation during the clean up than previously thought.
News media are also now reporting sightings of steam emerging from the plant, which is a worrying sign of the presence of heat in what is supposed to be a cold core.
