Tokyo Governor Naoki Inose says that the problem of radioactive water leaking from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant isn't necessarily under control.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared at the general assembly of the International Olympic Committee in Buenos Aires that the situation at Fukushima is under control.

The IOC chose Tokyo as the host city for the 2020 summer Olympics and Paralympics.

At a news conference on Friday, Inose said the most important thing is that Abe expressed his determination to bring the situation under control.

The governor praised Abe for dispelling widely spread speculation and concern about the leakage problem.

Inose added that he expects the central government to do all it can to solve the problem.
