Radiated Fukushima Prefecture soil disposal facility to be nationalized

The facility will be used for the final disposal of waste tainted with radioactive materials released from Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant damaged in the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

It will accept waste with radioactivity levels of up to 100,000 becquerels per kilogram.

Waste and soil with higher radioactivity levels are to be kept at an interim storage facility, which will be constructed at a site straddling the towns of Okuma and Futaba
