It has just been revealed that another nuclear plant in Japan is leaking radiation. The Mihama nuclear power plant, in Fukui Prefecture, shut down one of their reactors, after failing to stop a radioactive leak.
Kansai Electric Power Company says reactor 2 has been leaking contaminated water since November! A valve has been leaking, and the radioactive water has been collected in a tank, but it is nearing full capacity. The reactor was scheduled to be shut down for inspection on December 18.
This means 85% of Japan’s nuclear reactors are shut down.
