A nuclear power plant in the United States leaked about 1.51 million liters of radioactive water containing tritium.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Washington, March 19 (Reporter Sun Ding) The Minnesota Pollution Control Bureau recently reported that about 1.51 million liters of radioactive water containing tritium had leaked from a nuclear power plant in Monticello, the state.

　　The Minnesota Pollution Control Bureau said that the nuclear power plant belongs to the American preeminent energy company. At the end of November last year, the company reported abnormal results in routine groundwater monitoring to Minnesota and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

　　Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. It took nearly four months for the accident to be made public, which triggered public concern about public safety and questioned the transparency of information in the United States.

　　According to the Minnesota Pollution Control Bureau, the leak has been stopped, without touching the Mississippi River or polluting the drinking water source. In addition, there is no evidence that any drinking water near the nuclear power plant is at risk.

　　According to the American preeminent energy company, the water pipe leaking between two buildings of the nuclear power plant is controlled in the plant area, which "does not pose a health and safety risk to the local community or the environment", and about 25% of the leaked tritium has been recovered.
