Final disposal field can be chosen from everywhere in Japan

 

Hosono, minister of environment attended at the town councilor of Naraha machi Fukushima to request them to accept interim storage facility, on 4/7/2012.
At the same time, Hosono stated final disposal site must be chosen from everywhere in Japan to emphasize that they are going to choose a place for final disposal site from outside of Fukushima.

Hosono explains that soil and debris from decontamination should be distributed in 3 different interim storage facilities, in Futaba, Okuma, and Naraha otherwise it causes significant trafic jam to take in and it may affect reactor decommissioning.
In March, Japanese government requested these 3 towns to have interim storage facility but town councilor of Naraha voted for the opinion to be against accepting interim storage facility.
汚染土壌の最終処分「日本全体で」 細野環境相、楢葉町議会に強調
2012.4.7 12:05
細野豪志環境相は7日、福島県楢葉町議会の全員協議会に出席し、東京電力福島第1原発事故による汚染土壌の中間貯蔵施設受け入れを要請する一方、「日本全体で最終処分を考えなくてはならない」と述べ、福島県外で最終処分する方針をあらためて強調した。

この日の協議会は、楢葉町が役場機能を移している福島県いわき市で開かれた。細野氏は、除染で発生する土やがれきなどの中間貯蔵施設を双葉、大熊、楢葉3町に分散設置する方針を提案した背景について、施設が1カ所に集中すると搬入で大規模な道路渋滞が発生する可能性があると説明。「福島第1原発の廃炉作業に支障を来す可能性も否定できない」と述べた。

政府は3月、3町に中間貯蔵施設の設置を要請。楢葉町の草野孝町長は一定の理解を示しているが、町議会は設置に反対する意見書を3月に全会一致で可決している。

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.
