earthquake and tsunami

Two top executives at Japan's Chubu Electric Power are resigning due to a scandal involving the tampering of earthquake data related to the Hamaoka nuclear plant. The company will also withdraw applications to restart two reactors at the Hamaoka facility. This development highlights ongoing concerns about nuclear safety in Japan, particularly in seismically active regions. In related news, Japan is expanding its project to recycle soil contaminated by the Fukushima disaster. This soil, previously used at 12 sites in Tokyo, will now be reused in Sendai and Saitama, marking the first reuse outside the capital. The government aims to further broaden the application of this recycled soil, indicating a continued effort to manage the aftermath of the 2011 nuclear accident and its environmental impact.
