NRA questions efficacy of TEPCO's plan to block radioactive water from leaking into ocean with below-ground walls

As reported by the Asahi Shimbun, the Japanese national government's Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) is doubtful that Tokyo Electric Power Company's (TEPCO) plan to construct underground walls will succeed in blocking the flow of radioactively contaminated water into the ocean at the devastated Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. NRA is instead suggesting the radioactively contaminated groundwater be pumped out. But TEPCO is already scrambling to store nearly 300,000 tons of radioactively contaminated water, an amount that grows by 800 tons per day.
