TOKYO Aug 11 (Online): As Japan moves ahead in its controversial plans to release treated nuclear waste into the sea, authorities have detected \u201chigher-than-usual levels\u201d of radioactive material in rainwater around a storage tank, local media reported.<\/p>\n

The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) said the leak was found \u201cin a hose used to transfer treated water,\u201d said Japanese broadcaster NHK.
\nIt, however, added: \u201cThe water that leaked remained inside the barrier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amid criticism from neighbors especially China, Japan is set to release the treated nuclear water from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone caused the cracks with a cutter blade while removing the packaging around the hose after it was delivered,\u201d said the TEPCO.
\nThe authorities found cracks on the hose measuring around four centimetres.<\/p>\n

TEPCO said it \u201cdetected 33,000 becquerels of tritium per liter in rainwater collected from the dike surrounding a tank storing treated water\u201d in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the hose was also used to transfer treated water from another tank, TEPCO analyzed water in the dike around the tank and detected up to 67,000 becquerels of tritium per liter. That exceeds 60,000 becquerels, the standard set by the Japanese government for releasing tritium into the environment,\u201d the NHK report said.<\/p>\n

Japan has made plans to treat the nuclear waste to \u201creduce tritium levels to about one-seventh of the World Health Organization\u2019s guidelines for drinking water quality before releasing it into the sea.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
