Tokyo, Sep 10 (Prensa Latina) Typhoon Etau originated leaks of radioactive water from the Fukushima plant in Japan, today unveiled a report from its operator, the Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco).
The company management analyzes the magnitude of what happened, although experts considered as low the radioactive level of the contaminated water discharged into the Pacific Ocean.

Leaks occurred in dams located around the tanks storing liquid used to cool the reactors.

With this leak, there have been seven detected since last April when a pumping system was implemented to prevent radioactive waste emanating from the reactor to flow in a place away from the plant.

Fukushima was hit by an earthquake and a subsequent tsunami on March 11, 2011 which caused one of the most serious nuclear accidents in history.
