Source of water leakage spotted at Fukushima plant
The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has pinpointed the location of a leak where radioactive water is escaping a containment vessel at one of the facility's damaged reactors.
Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, says a remote-controlled camera in a room just outside the containment vessel recorded water leaking from a joint where a pipe is connected to the vessel.
TEPCO says the water flow is about the width of two to four pencils and is continuous. After reaching the floor, the water is flowing away from the containment vessel and spreading across the floor.
The utility believes that what is being released is water injected into the vessel to cool melted nuclear fuel inside.
Based on the findings, TEPCO plans to study ways to stop the leak.

Panel urges lifelong survey for Fukushima workers
An expert panel is to ask Japan's government to conduct a lifelong survey on people who worked in the immediate aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear accident.
A draft report released on Friday by the health ministry panel urges the government to follow 19,000 workers for the rest of their lives to see whether their exposure to radiation causes cancer or other illnesses.
The people worked at the plant after the accident in March 2011, until the government announced in December that year that damaged reactors had stabilized.
The panel says workers whose radiation exposure exceeded a government limit should undergo blood tests as part of detailed checks.

NEC to expand renewable energy supply in Europe
Japanese electronics maker NEC has begun tests with an Italian partner to see if its energy storage system can bring stable, renewable energy to Italy.
Officials from NEC, Enel, and the Italian government attended a ceremony to mark the start of the program on Thursday in Chiaravalle, southern Italy.
NEC provided Enel, Italy's largest power company, with a two-megawatt lithium-ion battery energy storage system, one of the most powerful in Europe.
The use of solar and wind power has been increasing in Europe. While these have the advantage of being renewable sources, they are vulnerable to weather conditions.
