Tokyo Electric Power Co., grappling with the worst radioactive spill since the March 2011 nuclear disaster, said an inspection of storage tanks at its wrecked Fukushima plant showed no further leaks of irradiated water.

The inspection of about 300 tanks similar in design to the unit that leaked contaminated water this week did reveal two separate radiation hotspots near adjacent tanks, which the company can’t yet explain.
