TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Sunday it has postponed the planned transfer of radioactive water from a leaking underground tank at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant because it needs more time to install a water pipe.
The operator of the crisis-hit plant in northeastern Japan had planned to start moving contaminated water in the No. 2 tank to a tank above ground.
Company officials now say it will take several more days to put in place and inspect a pipe to be used to transfer the water.
The firm known as TEPCO has seven underground tanks, some of which are storing radioactive water used in the ongoing operation to cool the Nos. 1 to 3 reactors, which went into meltdown in the 2011 nuclear crisis.
