Japan has acknowledged for the first time the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has leaked contaminated water in the sea. The plant’s operator admitted earlier this month that radioactive material had likely been leaking for the past two years, ever since it was heavily damaged by a massive earthquake and tsunami. Radiation levels have spiked in groundwater surrounding the plant, but officials say the leak has been contained to the surrounding bay.
