(Tepco) reported Tuesday. About 300 metric tons of contaminated water leaked from a storage tank, Tepco said, adding that this incident is separate from reports of contaminated water leaks reported in recent weeks, which have stated that the same volume of...

Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) said the leak of at least 300 tonnes of the highly radioactive water was discovered on Monday.

Fukushima operator says workers dusted with radioactive particles
2013-08-19 13:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The operator of Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant said on Monday two workers were found to be contaminated with radioactive particles, the second such incident in a week involving staff outside the site's main operations center. Two dust monitors sounded alarms earlier on Monday outside the operations center, where radiation levels are usually low enough to avoid the need for full face masks, Tokyo Electric Power Co said in an emailed statement. Two workers waiting for a bus at the end...
