The Huffington Post reports that the largest
leak at Fukushima Reactor station in the last year was noted.

The operator of Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant said on Thursday that 100 tonnes of highly contaminated water had leaked out of a tank, the worst incident since last August, when a series of radioactive water leaks sparked international alarm.

Tokyo Electric Power Co told reporters the latest leak was unlikely to have reached the ocean. But news of the leak at the site, devastated by a 2011 earthquake and tsunami, further undercut public trust in a utility rocked by a string of mishaps and disclosure issues.

Tepco says it was 100 tonnes, it was 230 Million Bq/Liter and it didn't reach the ocean.

What do we really know?
