Poor welds delay cleanup of Fukushima Nuke disaster contaminated water
The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station disaster in March 2011 is still a “hot” story more than three years after the incident. The operating company TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Co.) is cleaning up the site and continues to battle problems with tons of contaminated water being stored at Fukushima.
Water from the devastated reactor cooling system has spread into the immediate vicinity and around the world through ocean currents.
