Since the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster triggered by the Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami occurred, nuclear waste problem has been one of the most difficult issues in Japanese politics. On May 17, the Environment Ministry announced that they started to test a new method to recycle radioactive soil to reduce nuclear waste. The ministry plans to create a mound using radioactive soil. Such mounds could be used, for example, as foundations for seawalls and roads in Fukushima Prefecture and elsewhere. Safety concern has been raised, but the government seeks to move nuclear waste outside Fukushima prefecture by 2045, and this new method will be able to help to achieve this goal.

Hi Nanami! Thanks for sharing your report on Japan's plan on nuclear waste.
Nuclear must be really sensitive issue in Japan and i wonder how majority of people think about nuclear energy and the plan you mentioned.
Thanks for the report!

Thank you Nanami for highlighting this issue. Earthquake prone areas must consider highly earthquake resistant means of storing and disposing nuclear waste to avoid leakage.

Nanami, thank you for your report. I am sure after Fukushima nuclear disaster world has been keeping there eyes on Japan. So the government are finding solutions to deal with nuclear waste. I wish the government finds good one and succeeds on moving nuclear waste out of Fukushima by 2045.

Japan has suffered the disastrous impact of nuclear waste in the past and it is still reeling under the after effect of the radiation.
