Tohoku Electric Power Company says Thursday night's strong earthquake
caused water to overflow from spent fuel storage pools at one of its
nuclear power plants.
The power company reported on Friday that water had spilled onto the
floor at all 3 reactors at the Onagawa nuclear power plant in Miyagi
Prefecture. The amount of water spilled was 3.8 liters at the most.
The utility firm also found water leaks at 5 locations in the plant,
including inside buildings housing the reactors.
The company added that blowout panels--devices designed to control
pressure inside the buildings--were damaged at the turbine building of
the Number 3 reactor.
The newly reported problems add to the downing of 3 of 4 external power
lines at the Onagawa plant. The plant is maintaining its cooling
capabilities with the remaining power line.
Tohoku Electric Power Company is continuing its efforts to determine the
extent of the damage caused by the latest quake. But it says no change
has yet been seen in radiation levels around the plant.
