Radioactive water from Fukushima nuclear plant leaks in sea
Radioactive water is leaking into the sea from a 30-centimetre (12-inch) crack in a containment pit at Japan's quake-hit Fukushima nuclear plant, its operator TEPCO has said.
The crack under reactor 2 may be the source of recent radiation in coastal waters, TEPCO officials said.
They are preparing to pour concrete into the pit to try to stop the leak, BBC reported.
