Tokyo Electric Power Co. said a tank that leaked highly radioactive water at its damaged Fukushima nuclear plant is one of three that had been dismantled and moved, adding it has yet to determine if that caused the seepage.
The tanks, which were relocated because of ground subsidence at their initial site, were filled and tested for leaks after being reassembled, Noriyuki Imaizumi, an official at the utility who briefed reporters, said in Tokyo on Aug. 24.
