The leaked water was flowing into the underground nearly under the water pressure measuring instrument.
The water leakage from the flange was stopped by means of closing the valve attached between the flange and the water pipe.
The amount of leaked water was estimated to be approximately 600 litters in total.
The concentration of radioactive materials in the water treated by SARRY and RO was approximately as follows:
Total Beta: 93 kBq/L
H-3: 380kBq/L
There has been no contamination of the ocean that raises any concern about influence to heaith and the environment.
