A large amount of radioactive water has leaked from a holding tank at Japan's troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, its operator said Thursday.
The leak of an estimated 100 metric tons of highly contaminated water was discovered late Wednesday, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) said in a statement.
The company has struggled to manage the vast amounts of radioactive water, with a number of leaks reported last year.

The leak reported Thursday is one of the largest since TEPCO reported last summer that about 300 tons of radioactive water had leaked from a tank.
 
 
 
these guys CLEARLY do not know what they are doing,
and are incapable of dealing with the situation they created with poor design.
 
wow.
 
why don't we build a nuke plant down at green river near moab?
in the middle of a desert?
doesn't that sound like a good idea?

In related news, a new, water-based, energy drink is introduced by Japanese investors...

i don't think nuke energy translates into the new 'have you got it in you' catchphrase.

We're going to keep it up until we waste ourselves or mother earth shakes us off like a bad dream.

for me, it kind of ties into this story:
 
 
Judge approves nuclear power plant in Utah
A judge has cleared the way for a nuclear power plant to be built in Utah, with conditions.
“The court finds that there is reason to believe that the project will not be detrimental to the public welfare,” Judge George Harmond said in a ruling issued late Wednesday
November 27, 2013

nuke plants need water.
Utah is the second driest state in the nation with a population slated to double in the next 40 years.
The Utah Geological Survey stated that Utah has over 1,000 earthquakes a day....
que Fukushima.
Downriver, of course, are the jewels of America’s national park system, Canyonlands and the Grand Canyon.
What if there were a release of radioactivity, even a minor one, into the Green River?

That's easy ... we would simply rename it the Iridescent Green River.

Names may have something to do with it after the fact but
with a name like Fuk us hima it must not mean a thing on the front end.
