Fukushima Radioactive Water Leakage Incident


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings on February 08 reported that an estimated 5,500 liters of radioactive water leaked from Japan's stricken Fukushima nuclear plant a day earlier. 
 
A spokesperson from TEPCO said that the leak was detected at part of the plant that processes contaminated water. She maintained there has been no sign of contamination outside the facility. Even so, the company plan to remove soil from around the area, without providing specific details on the location of the leaked water.
 
On the same day, a spokesperson from the Chinese Embassy in Japan called attention to the fact that the incident exposed the ineffective supervision measures by the Japanese government. 
 
This "once again" proves the lack of the long-term reliability of the nuclear-contaminated water treatment system, highlighting the necessity for international supervision, the spokesperson added.
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On Saturday, Liverpool earned a 3-1 win over Burnley. 
 
The Reds grabbed the opening goal of the game in the thirty-first minute, after Diogo Jota headed home a corner from the right-hand side. However, the Clarets found the equaliser fourteen minutes later. 
 
Luis Diaz then put Liverpool back in front seven minutes after the break and despite a few scares, they secured victory when Darwin Nunez produced a deft header from substitute Harvey Elliott's lovely delivery into the box in the seventy-ninth minute. 
 
It wasn't a great showing from the Reds, but they got the three precious points regardless.
