環境相「除染は福島の希望」 再生事務所開所式

細野豪志環境相は21日、東京電力福島第1原発事故を受けた除染の拠点として環境省が福島市に設けた「福島環境再生事務所」の開所式で「除染は福島にとって希望。その責任を自覚して体制を整備する」とあいさつし、福島県の除染作業を本格化させると強調した。

開所式には県内市町村長ら約60人が出席。佐藤雄平知事は「市町村や住民の思いを受け止め、現場の目線で柔軟に対応してほしい」と要望した。

事務所は4日付で開設。職員約70人が常駐し、国直轄の除染事業の管理、市町村による除染活動の支援などに当たる。4月には約200人に増員する予定。

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
