Fukushima in path of strong typhoon A powerful typhoon was closing in on Japan Tuesday, on a path that will take it toward the precarious Fukushima nuclear power plant. Typhoon Wipha, packing winds of up to 144 kilometers per hour near its center, was in the Pacific south of Japan early Tuesday and moving north at 20 kilometers per hour. It was forecast to be off the coast of Fukushima where the crippled nuclear power plant sits on Wednesday. Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), said it was bracing for the winds after a series of leaks of radiation-polluted water. “We are making preparations for proper management of contaminated water… We will patrol places that could have inflows of water (from the storm),” a company spokesman said.
