Radioactive water leak feared at Japan nuke plant

None

The operator of Japan's crippled nuclear plant says it is moving tons of highly radioactive water from a temporary storage tank to another because of a possible leak.

 

About 120 tons of the water are believed to have breached the tank's inner linings, although little is thought to have leaked into the soil. It is part of the water that was used to cool melted fuel at the Fukushima Dai-ichi reactors damaged in the March 2011 disaster. (AP)
