Where will Fukushima’s nuclear waste go? Japanese governors reject tainted soil
AI Summary
A recent survey reveals that none of Japan's prefectural governors, excluding Fukushima's, are willing to accept contaminated soil from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster cleanup without more safety information and government support. The Japanese government aims to find final disposal sites for 14 million cubic meters of contaminated soil and waste removed following the 2011 nuclear disaster. The government plans to begin selecting potential disposal sites around 2030, with a legal deadline of March 2045 to move the waste from an interim storage facility near the Fukushima plant. Governors cite insufficient information from the central government as the primary reason for their reluctance to consider hosting the disposal sites.
