Japan admits higher nuclear leak
Quake-damaged road outside the nuclear power plant at Kashiwazaki, Japan - 18/07/07
Meteorologists are examining whether the plant lies on a fault line
A radioactive leak at a major nuclear plant in Japan damaged by an earthquake on Monday was worse than previously thought, the plant's operators say.
Owner Tokyo Electric Power company said 50% more radiation was discharged into the sea, following the magnitude 6.8 quake, than was earlier reported.
But the firm insisted the leak was still well below danger levels.
