VIENNA, August 16. /TASS/. Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), the operator of Japan’s Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, has informed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of a radioactive water leak, the agency said in a statement.

"The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was informed that on August 9, 2024, TEPCO found a water leakage at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 2, involving an estimated 25 tons of water from the spent fuel cooling system pump room and the heat exchanger room," the statement reads.
