Fukushima No. 1 pipes freeze, leak
http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nn20120130x1.htmlTwo more water leaks were found at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant Monday in addition to 14 found Sunday that prompted Tokyo Electric Power Co. to halt the cooling of reactor 4's spent-fuel pool for two hours.
The leaks are believed to have been caused by freezing. The leaked water included radioactive water that had been purified, the utility said, adding that the contamination level is low.
The water temperature in the spent-fuel pool remained almost flat at 21 degrees, it said.
The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency instructed the utility to investigate the leaks and take preventive steps.
