#Fukushima I Nuke Plant Reactor 2 Sub-drain Water Overflowing from the Temporary Tank

Near the end of TEPCO's morning press conference on February 8, TEPCO's PR man mentioned in passing that the water from the Reactor 2 sub-drain pit stored in the temporary pool was found overflowing.

"OK, no more question?... Well then we have one last announcement for you ..."

According to TEPCO:

• TEPCO has been conducting the experiment to clean the sub-drain pit water.

• The Reactor 2's sub-drain pit water is being pumped into a temporary storage tank which has the device submerged in the tank to decontaminate the water.

• At 9:40AM on February 8 the water was found overflowing from the tank.

• The pump was stopped, then the overflow stopped.

• No information yet on how much water have been spilled, on the density of radioactive materials in the water, or whether the water spilled into the ocean.

• More details in the evening press conference.
