A RADIOACTIVE water has leaked inside a nuclear power plant in southwestern Japan but did not escape into the environment, report says.

Kyodo News agency said on Saturday that 1.8 tons of radioactive water leaked in a pump at Kyushu Electric Power Co's Genkai plant.

Yushu Electric issued a statement on Friday about a pump problem but did not mention a leak.

Also on Friday, Japan's Prime Minister said work to stabilise a tsunami-hit nuclear power plant in the northeast is on track.

Yoshihiko Noda said temperatures in three melted reactor cores at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant have fallen below the boiling point and radiation leaks have declined.

A March earthquake and tsunami destroyed the plant's power and cooling systems.
