'No way out of waste water dumping to keep core cool at Fukushima'

Japanese officials say 60,000 tons of radioactive water have accumulated in the basement of the stricken Fukushima plant. Workers must keep feeding water into the reactors to stop them overheating, which is leading to a build-up of radioactive fluid. Japan has asked Russia to send a waste disposal facility to the crippled nuclear station. Almost 12,000 tons of low-tainted water are being released into the ocean to free storage space for more highly contaminated waste. Authorities say this poses no threat to human health or the environment.
