Four leaks found in Japan’s Fukushima Nuclear Plant

The video discusses the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station and a coolant leak discovered by TEPCO in 2019. The leak was found in pipes between reactor buildings two and three, resulting in a loss of 20 cubic meters of coolant. The cooling liquid is crucial for disaster prevention as it freezes the soil around the reactors, preventing groundwater from entering the station.
