As Fukushima Raises Severity Level, Nuclear Expert Warns Radioactive Leaks Will Only "Get Worse"
Japan’s nuclear regulator said today it has officially raised the severity rating of the latest radioactive water leak at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant to Level 3 on an international scale for radiological releases.
The plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), said last week that 330 tons of highly radioactive water leaked from a storage tank at the facility.
Crews of workers have been rushing to check for leaks in hundreds of other tanks holding radioactive water.
Japanese regulators have accused TEPCO of failing to properly monitor the storage tanks.
"The problem is going to get worse," warns Arnie Gundersen, a former nuclear industry executive who has coordinated projects at 70 nuclear power plants around the United States.

Ex-PM Junichiro Koizumi pushes for a ‘zero nuclear power’ Japan
