TEPCO to prepare for radioactive water leaks
The operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has decided to dig observation wells to prepare for the possibility of highly radioactive water seeping into groundwater.
Tokyo Electric Power Company has come under criticism after more than 100 tons of water containing record-high levels of radioactive substances overflowed from a storage tank last month.
The utility says the leakage occurred when valves that should have been closed were left open, allowing tainted water to enter the tank that overflowed.
But company officials have yet to pinpoint the exact reasons for the oversight.
Water treatment system at Fukushima plant halts
The operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant says one of its key systems to treat radioactive water halted automatically. Concerns are rising ahead of planned full-fledged operation from April.
Fisheries group asks for swift probe into leak
A fishermen's federation in Japan says the latest spill of 100 tons of contaminated water at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has raised deep concern among local fishermen.
Depression a serious problem in disaster-hit areas
Depression among those who experienced the 2011 disaster in northeastern Japan appears to be a serious problem.
A survey has found about one in 4 residents in the regions of Miyagi Prefecture hit by the March 11th earthquake and tsunami shows symptoms of depression.
Safety screening begins on Hamaoka reactor
Japan's nuclear regulators have begun a safety screening of a reactor located at the center of the projected focal area of a mega-quake in central Japan.
Members of the Nuclear Regulation Authority on Thursday heard from officials of Chubu Electric Power Company about safety steps taken for the Hamaoka plant in Shizuoka Prefecture.
