It looks like they did leak some of the contaminated water out into the Sea of Japan. However it's such a small amount it won't ever harm anybody, 315 gallons of water with contamination at a billionth of the allowable under the law.

Uchino said the water contained a tiny amount of radioactive material -- a billionth of the guideline under Japanese law -- and is believed to have flushed into the Sea of Japan.

A company statement said the leak had stopped and that there had been no "significant change" in the seawater under surveillance and no effect on the environment.
