Tepco has no more room to store radioactive water from Fukushima Daiichi cooling operations

NHK public broadcasting has reported that Tokyo Electric Power Company's (Tepco) desperate efforts to cool melting down reactor cores at Fukushima Daiichi Units 1, 2, and 3, as well as to cool overheating high-level radioactive waste storage pools at the multi-unit complex, have generated so much radioactively contaminated cooling water, that storage capacity for its retention is drawing to a close. Tepco admitted the leakage of radioactively contaminated water into groundwater and the ocean -- to the tune of tens of thousands of tons -- in both March and April.
