Electricity wholesaler Japan Atomic Power said today that gas containing a minute amount of radiation had leaked from its Tsuruga nuclear plant in western Japan the previous day, but that the amount was well below the legal limit and there was no impact on the environment.
The amount of radiation was estimated at about one-four hundred thousandth of the annual legal limit, a Japan Atomic spokesman said, and there were no changes in readings from radiation monitoring devices placed around the plant.
The 1,160-megawatt No. 2 reactor was shut on Saturday for an unplanned inspection after the company found a technical problem last week.
Japan Atomic said it has stopped the leak and is investigating the cause.
