The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has admitted that up to 120 tons of contaminated water may have seeped into the ground out of a holding tank at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant 1 following the earthquake and tsunami of March, 2011. However, TEPCO said that amount of contaminated water is unlikely to flow into the sea.
