Fukushima Soil Used in PM's Office to Prove Safety | JQJO

Japan plans to use slightly radioactive soil from Fukushima in flower beds at the Prime Minister's office to demonstrate its safety for reuse. The soil, stored since the 2011 disaster, has reached safe levels for such purposes, according to officials. This follows guidelines set by the Environment Ministry and the IAEA. While the government aims to reassure the public, previous attempts faced protests. A roadmap for wider soil reuse in government projects is expected by summer, with long-term plans to dispose of the remaining contaminated material by 2045.
