Water leak found inside Fukushima reactor building
The operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says it has found water pouring into a drain inside the number 3 reactor building.
Tokyo Electric Power Company says it is yet to determine where the water comes from, or how much radioactive material it contains.
The company said that the water leak was spotted on the first floor of the reactor building on Saturday by a camera installed on a remote-controlled robot used for removing rubbles. It said that the water flow was about 30-centimeters wide and constant.
TEPCO added that the water is likely flowing toward the building's basement where a large amount of radioactive water has accumulated.
TEPCO says that inside the reactor building there is water for cooling melted fuel and water in the spent fuel storage pool. It says rain water may have entered the damaged building.
TEPCO is trying to find out the source of the leaking water by analyzing footage taken by the camera, as radiation levels are too high for workers to approach the site.

Tepco Probes Cause of Latest Radioactive Water Leak at Fukushima
By Masumi Suga
Jan 19, 2014 10:51 PM CT
Tokyo Electric Power Co. (9501) is
investigating the cause of another leak of radioactive water at
its wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant, a reminder of the
challenges remaining at the site of the world’s worst atomic
accident since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. The company, known as Tepco, is probing the origin and cause, spokeswoman Kaoru Suzuki said today by telephone. Tepco revealed the leak in a statement on its website this weekend.
Highly radioactive water was detected inside the No. 3 reactor building at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant, Tepco said in yesterday’s statement. The contaminated water likely hasn’t escaped outside the building, Tepco’s Suzuki said.
The latest leak threatens to undermine efforts by the company to distance itself from the March 2011 disaster as it attempts to chart a path toward growth. Tokyo-based Tepco last week released a turnaround plan calling for investments in upstream energy projects and overseas electricity businesses.
