Japan nuclear watchdog urges bold action at Fukushima

TOKYO: Japan’s nuclear watchdog on Monday urged “bold and drastic” action to fix problems with radioactive water at Fukushima, as it warned of the growing risks over coming months.

Shunichi Tanaka, chairman of the Nuclear Regulation Authority, told the president of operator Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) that no expense should be spared in getting to grips with the water leaks that have beset the plant over the last half-a-year.
