Radioactive Leak

A Minnesota nuclear power plant released at least 400,000 gallons of radioactive water in November but the spill was finally made public on Thursday.

A leak occurred during flushing measures on a discharge line at the nuclear power plant in Brunsbuettel, northern Germany, on Sept. 28, the energy ministry of Schleswig-Holstein.

A Russian scientific commission will investigate reports of radioactive pollution almost 1,000 times above normal levels in the southern Urals, state nuclear company Rosatom said Friday.

The Delhi airport witnessed a false alarm about a radioactive leak today after a consignment of nuclear drugs for cancer -- Molybdenum - 99 -- arrived by an Air France Flight for a Delhi hospital.

Nearly two months after the nuclear reactor at Gujarat's Kakrapar developed a leak in its cooling system and was shut down, nuclear engineers are yet to find how it was caused. And although there was no leakage of radioactivity, the matter has triggered concerns about the safety of the country's 18 other nuclear reactors.

The Kakrapar Atomic Power Station (KAPS) unit 1 in Gujarat, which has been shutdown since March due to radioactive leak, may still take nearly 3-8 months for full recovery.

A day after one of the units of Kakrapar Atomic Power Station (KAPS) near Surat in Gujarat was shut down after heavy water leakage, a team of experts today began a probe to identify the cause of the leak even as officials reaffirmed that there was no radioactive release at the site.

After battling radioactive water leaks for five years at Japan's crippled Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant, the utility that ran it says it will need another four to finish the job.

A radioactive water leak has halted plans to re-start a reactor at a nuclear power plant in western Japan, which would have been the fourth to come online after a nationwide shutdown, its operator said on Sunday.

A nuclear power plant north of New York City has leaked water contaminated with radioactive tritium into the groundwater below the facility, sparking an investigation by state officials, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Saturday.

Hours after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that a radioactive leak at the Delhi international airport's cargo hold had been plugged, the atomic regulatory board said there had been no such leak.

A radioactive material leak was detected on Friday at New Delhi's international airport on a shipment of nuclear medicine from Turkey, before being plugged by emergency teams, officials said.

A radioactive leak from a medical consignment that arrived on a Turkish Airlines plane from Istanbul, was detected in the cargo area of the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi this morning. Home Minister Rajnath Singh said the leak has been "contained."

Sensors at the Fukushima nuclear plant have detected a fresh leak of highly radioactive water to the sea, the plant's operator announced Sunday, highlighting difficulties in decommissioning the crippled plant.

The operator of Japan's battered Fukushima nuclear power plant said on Tuesday it was having trouble with the early stages of an ice wall being built under broken reactors to contain radioactive water.
