Radioactive Waste Leaks Into Ocean During Fukushima Power OutageA power outage on Tuesday has shut down all eight water transfer pumps at Fukushima nuclear power station which has caused radioactive water to leak into the Pacific Ocean. Japantimes.co.jp reports: The pumping had begun last Friday, in response to a finding in late February that highly radioactive water in the channel was reaching the ocean. They were confirmed to be working Monday afternoon but found stopped at 8:45 a.m. Tuesday. The utility said earlier this year that water samples from the drainage channel last May contained concentrations of radioactive materials that surpassed the legal limit. - See more at: yournewswire.com/radioactive-waste-leaks-into-ocean-during-fukushima-power-outage/#sthash.wI5pdsJv.dpuf
