In news from Japan, about 12 metric-tons of radioactive water have leaked from the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, possibly flowing into the Pacific Ocean. Officials say a leak was found in a pipe early Thursday and has since been plugged. The incident follows a series of other reported leaks at the Fukushima facility, which was damaged following a massive earthquake last year. Meanwhile, researchers at Dartmouth College say they have found radioactive iodine in New Hampshire that is a direct result of the Fukushima disaster.
