Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Aug. 6 it is struggling in its latest efforts to stop radioactive groundwater from flowing into the sea at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant.
Tepco said some of the water is getting over or around "chemical walls" it created by injecting chemicals into the soil that solidify into a wall.
The latest problem involves groundwater that has built up over the last month.
Tepco said it had been focusing instead on the bigger risk from the melted reactors. (AP)
