Heavy rainfall in Fukushima has caused highly radioactive water to flood inside the damaged nuclear power plant after operators underestimated the extent of the deluge.
As many as 11 concrete barriers, designed to protect tanks of radioactive water, were submerged in the torrential downpours which hit the region on Sunday.
Among these, water overflowing from at least six of the 12 inch barriers was found to be highly contaminated, although officials later confirmed that there was no impact on radiation levels in the surrounding sea water.
Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco), operators of the plant, admitted to underestimating the amount of rainfall and failing to pump the water out fast enough to prevent flooding.
The utility company had braced itself for up to 16 inches of rainfall on Sunday, although the final amount reached almost 45 inches, according to Yoshikazu Nagai, a spokesman for Tepco.

I've never done weights or anything like that, but it has peaked my interest.
Still, evenings now I am enjoying my bike rides.. trying to push up the distance a bit from 20km to 25km.

I've been getting on my bike the last few weeks and 20-30km most days.
In a few weeks I can actually feel a difference.
Fun once you get into it.

My next door neighbour came round last night with an omelette. It was AMAZING.
I don't know what she put in it, but I need more. I think I'll have to be friendly to her.
(No, she's probably about 65).
