The plant, crippled by the earthquake and tsunami in 2011, has seen a series of water leaks and power failures. The tsunami knocked out cooling systems to the reactors, three of which melted down. An employee discovered the leak on Monday morning,...

Reuters: Contaminated water with dangerously high levels of radiation is leaking from a storage tank at Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, the most serious setback to the clean up of the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl. The storage tank breach of about 300 tons of water is separate from contaminated water leaks reported in recent weeks, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co said on Tuesday. The latest leak, which is continuing, is so contaminated that a person standing 50 centimeters...
