Japan should have told its neighbours it was releasing radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said Sunday, after the move raised concern in Seoul and Beijing.

"We should have given firmer explanations," he told reporters while visiting victims of the huge earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan nearly a month ago, knocking out cooling systems at the Fukushima nuclear plant.

Japan PM

Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan on Saturday visited emergency crew who have struggled to stabilise a tsunami-hit nuclear plant that has leaked radiation into the air, ground and ocean.

The visit came as the firm operating the Fukushima power station announced it had discovered a crack in a pit leaking highly radioactive water straight into the sea.
