radioactive water

He made his way to the auxiliary building and viewed the radioactive water collected on the floor.

Growing pools of dangerously radioactive water and deposits of plutonium have been inhibiting access to important parts of the plant.

'We wanted to avoid releasing radioactive water into the ocean. But that was an unavoidable operation, ' Mr. Nishiyama said.

Workers have also been using a dye to try to help trace the path of radioactive water seeping from the plant.

Regulators said Sunday night, however, that the materials hadn't absorbed the radioactive water, which continues to flow into the sea.

TEPCO said 2, 800 tons of radioactive water had been pumped into the sea from a temporary storage facility by Tuesday morning.

The quake started a fire at one of the world's most powerful nuclear power plants, sending radioactive water into the Sea of Japan.

Radioactive water from Japan's stricken nuclear power plant seeped into the sea around Fukushima.

One pump is being used to extract radioactive water, and two more will be taken to the site.

Highly radioactive water leaked into the sea from a crack at Japan's stricken nuclear power plant.

The cause of the radioactive water leakage remains undetermined, and the severity of the problem depends in part on just what is behind it.

Until they can be safely drained, officials have nowhere to put the radioactive water.

Two workers are not assigned to shoes, they wear normal shoes wade into the radioactive water, the result injured and hospitalized.

Each unit may hold tens of thousands of gallons of radioactive water, said Minoru Ogoda of Japan's nuclear safety agency.

But work was delayed, in part by the radioactive water building up inside the reactors, and it still isn't certain when that will resume.

There are literally thousands of tons of radioactive water pooled in the power plant's basement.

The pooling radioactive water raises pressing new questions for the government and Tepco about how to dispose of it.

Japan: Radioactive water not overflowing into Pacific.

At present, water is being injected from the outside, which creates pools of radioactive water that makes repair work difficult.

Workers have been scrambling to remove the radioactive water from the four units and find a place to safely store it.

And it has the dangerous side effect of creating a large buildup of radioactive water in nearby groundwater and seawater.

The small progress came as the government defended its decision Monday to dump 11, 500 tons of low-level radioactive water into the ocean.

It wants to use the space as storage for the highly radioactive water that is collecting in the basement of the reactor No. 2 building.

Tepco workers also plugged a leak last week from reactor No. 2, which was releasing highly radioactive water into the sea.

Doesn't look very big, but that is how the radioactive water is getting from inside the plant out into the Pacific.

Efforts to get the Fukushima nuclear plant under control suffered a setback as highly radioactive water was found inside the complex,
