TEPCO works to prevent radioactive water overflow

The operator of the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant is working to prevent radioactive water being held back by outdoor barriers from overflowing.
Water from heavy rainfall over the past few weeks has accumulated inside barriers around tanks containing radioactive water.
Tokyo Electric Power Company has been transferring water from the barriers to tanks and underground pools.
TEPCO is storing rainwater inside barriers around the holding tanks in order to check it for radioactivity. However, as the rainwater in 2 of the barriers was thought to be on the verge of overflowing, the water was released into the compound after it was checked for radioactivity.
