BREAKING! A new and dangerous leak has been found at Unit 5 of the Daichii Fukushima Plant via @WTFukushima bit.ly/1tn5khY The leak is coming from the fifth unit of The Tokyo Electric Power Companys (TEPCO) nuclear power complex which was not part of the original four damaged from the level 9 earthquake in 2011. According to Cleantechnica, Engineers on the Fukushima site have said that apparently about 1,300 liters of highly radioactive water has leaked from a 3mm-diameter hole near a cooling system flow valve in Unit 5. The leak forced TEPCO workers at around 12pm on Sunday to shut off the cooling water system that was stabilizing the temperature of the spent fuel rod pool. Various news sites have explained that the unit is rising in temperature and within nine days it could exceed the dangerous threshold of 65oC. Hotter water increases the possibility of further reactions and radiation leaks. permaculture.co.uk/news/0907145293/fukushima-update-unit-5-leak
