The Japanese government has proposed a second site for disposal of low-level radioactive waste in prefectures contaminated by the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
On Thursday, Senior Vice Environment Minister Katsuhiko Yokomitsu visited Governor Masaru Hashimoto of Ibaraki Prefecture, which borders Fukushima.
Yokomitsu suggested as a disposal site a national forest in Takahagi in the prefecture. He explained the forest is located far from residential areas, has sufficient space and is topographically and geologically stable.
Governor Hashimoto replied he would have to consult local residents and municipalities.
Yokomitsu later visited Takahagi City Hall and met mayor Yoshio Kusama, who rejected the government's proposal.
Earlier this month, Environment Ministry officials met similar hard opposition when they proposed a national forest in Yaita in Tochigi Prefecture as a disposal site for the prefecture's own contaminated ash and mud.
Each of Japan's 47 prefectures is required to specially dispose of its own radioactive ash and mud with cesium levels of more than 8,000 becquerels per kilogram. The government allows waste of below 8,000 becquerels to remain in landfills. fukushima-is-still-news.com/article-new-waste-site-in-takahagi-forest-110609941.html

GIANT MOUNDS –
DO THEY CONTAIN RADIOACTIVE WASTE? What the heck? We saw lots of giant square MOUNDS. Are they burying rubble? The fuel rod chunks? Also interestingly we saw around the grounds small excavators and cars nearby clearing up scattered junk. They do not look robotic at all. They look like some poor Schmuck was sent out to scoop up piles of old barrels and junk with the excavator. There are several around when you go looking.
