TSURUGA — Two workers were exposed recently to low-level radioactive water when conducting a test inside a facility housing the No. 3 reactor at Mihama Nuclear Power Plant in Fukui Prefecture, which has been suspended since a fatal steam pipe rupture in August last year, Kansai Electric Power Co said Tuesday.
About 15 liters of water leaked from a pipe that ruptured during a test and some water was sprayed over the faces and the necks of the workers. It will not have any adverse impact on their health as it was immediately washed away, the power utility said.
