About 2,000 tons of water flowed into the building housing one of the seven reactors at the world's largest nuclear power station in Niigata Prefecture operated by Tokyo Electric Power Co. after it was hit by the earthquake last week, company officials said Tuesday.
The officials said no radioactive substances have been detected in the leaked water and that there is no danger of radioactive leakage from the building, which is kept pressurized. The magnitude-6.8 earthquake on July 16 damaged underground water pipes for firefighting just outside the building housing the 1,100 megawatt No. 1 reactor at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power station. The plant is located in the city of Kashiwazaki and the village of Kariwa along the Sea of Japan coast.

I hope this trouble will be resolved as soon as possible. The radiation leak will be a significant for people nearby the plant, and it has been already confirmed that it was leaked into the ocean. It seems like IAEA will be checking out, though.
Plus, this plant leakage will be affecting the travel industry a lot, because Japanese people loves to spend the cool summer in that region.
I think every plant should be inspecting their security measure and facility intensity since we can not avoid the earthquakes any way..
