The operator of Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant is reporting around 300 tonnes of highly contaminated water has leaked from a storage tank.
Masayuki Ono is the general manager of the Tokyo Electric Power Company.
He says the
puddle1 that has formed near the tank is highly radio-active.
"It can be said that we found a radiation level strong enough to give someone a five-year dose of radiation within one hour."
TEPCO also admits the leak, which hasn't been stopped, could be flowing fast enough to fill an Olympic swimming pool in a week's time.
TEPCO, after months of denials, has finally admitted that contaminated water is reaching the ocean from its shattered facility.
The company is still struggling to figure out how to keep the crippled nuclear plant from doing more damage, despite the earthquake and
tsunami2 hitting the plant 2.5-years ago.
