Radiation from Japan N-plant leak far above limit Updated 8:19 AM ET July 16, 1999 TOKYO, July 16 (Reuters) - The radiation level of cooling water which leaked from a commercial nuclear reactor on the Sea of Japan coast was up to 11,500 times the maximum allowable limit, operators of the reactor said on Friday. In one of the worst-ever water coolant leaks in Japan, the No. 2 reactor at the Tsuruga nuclear station in Fukui Prefecture, 320 km (200 miles) west of Tokyo, leaked 51 tonnes of primary cooling water on Monday before it could be plugged 14 hours later. "The radiation in the leaked coolant water registered up to 11,500 times the upper radiation limit," said an official of Japan Atomic Power Co. The company said on Wednesday that the contamination level was 250 times the safety limit. No one was injured in the accident. High radiation levels were detected two days after the incident but workers failed to relay the finding promptly to senior company officials, the official said.
