Japan - Radioactive water
Six workers at Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant were doused with radioactive water from a desalination system on Wednesday, the plant’s operator said.
The fluid splashed onto the men when they accidently removed a pipe connected to the system, Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) said.
“The water did not come into contact with their faces so there is a little possibility that the workers ingested” any of the water, a TEPCO spokeswoman said, adding there were five other workers present at the time.
The pipe was reconnected and the leak stopped within an hour of the initial incident, TEPCO said.
