“The U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Wednesday it viewed the situation at Fukushima ‘seriously’ and was ready to help if called upon, while nearby China said it was ‘shocked’ to hear contaminated water was still leaking from the plant, and urged Japanto provide information ‘in a timely, thorough and accurate way’. The plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co, or Tepco, has been criticized for its failure to prepare for the disaster and has since been accused of covering up the extent of the problems at the plant. After months of denial, Tepco recently admitted the plant was leaking contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean.”
