TEPCO stops radioactive water leaking into sea

 Radioactive water stopped leaking into the Pacific Ocean from Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant on Wednesday, Jiji Press reported, citing the operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO).

TEPCO had on Tuesday injected sodium silicate, a chemical agent known as "water glass", to solidify soil near a cracked pit, from where large volumes of highly radioactive water had been seeping through and running into the sea.

Run-off from the plant has measured more than 1,000 millisieverts and is believed to be the source of radioactive iodine-131 readings in ocean waters more than 4,000 times the legal limit.
