Possible Nuke Contamination After Japan Quake
Water containing nuclear material has leaked out into the Sea of Japan following a 6.8-magnitude earthquake in Niigata, BBC News is reporting. Reactors at the Kashiwazaki nuclear plant automatically shut down following the temblor, and officials say the damage to the plant is not enough to cause nuclear contamination.
BBC, Bloomberg News and Japan's Asahi Shimbun have updates.
