March 25 (Reuters) - The operator of the quake-hit nuclear plant in Fukushima told a news conference on Friday that radiation in the water there could have come from the reactor core.

Tokyo Electric Power Co vice president Sakae Muto earlier told the same news conference that it was hard to determine the source of the water in the reactor, and that it could have come from the cooling pool.
