On the morning of the 7th, water was found leaking from the exhaust port of a contaminated water purification system at Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The leaked water is estimated to be approximately 5.5 tons, and it is thought to have contained radioactive materials equivalent to 220 times the national reporting standard.
TEPCO has decided to collect leaked water and soil from now on, as there is a possibility that the leaked water has seeped into the soil at the site.
