82 waste bags with radioactive materials from Fukushima washed away by typhoon floods | 11 Sept 2015 | At least 82 bags filled with contaminated radioactive material from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant have been swept away by flood water as typhoon Etau hit Japan, officials said. TEPCO said rainwater from the nuclear plant has been leaking into the Pacific. Flooding caused by Tropical Typhoon Etau has swept at least 82 bags suspected to contain radioactive grass and other contaminated materials that had been collected at the site of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (NPP). Though the Environment Ministry went on to say that most of the bags had been recovered undamaged, local media reported that only 30 of the bags had been found.
