TOKYO: Japan’s tsunami-battered Fukushima nuclear complex has suffered another radioactive water leak, its operator said yesterday the latest in a series of incidents at the crippled plant.
About 360 litres of tainted water leaked from a desalination unit although it did not escape from the complex, Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) said.
The desalination unit removes salt from tainted seawater used to cool reactors that went into meltdown after a giant tsunami crashed into the plant in March 2011.
The water is believed to have leaked from the unit before it went through its salt-removal system, TEPCO said.
The latest comes two days after the embattled utility said cancer-causing radioactive substances were found in groundwater at the plant and it pledged to prevent them leaking into the sea.
First interactive wax museum
KUALA LUMPUR: The country’s first interactive wax museum will open in i-City here in August.
I-Berhad Director Monica Ong said the 2,787 square metres Red Carpet@i-City would be spread over six themed sections and would feature 100 wax figurines of world leaders, celebrities, sports stars and even record breakers.
“The concept is revolutionary,” she said at the unveiling of the logo yesterday.
“There will be an interactive section where the wax figures can move and interact with visitors.”
I-Berhad Executive Chairman Tan Sri Lim Kim Hong said the museum’s opening was held in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2014.
“These will help ensure that a visit to the museum would be affordable, entertaining and educational.”
