Extensive and
destructive floods across eastern Japan have swept more than 700 bags
containing Fukushima-contaminated soil and grass into Japan’s rivers,
with many still unaccounted for and some spilling their radioactive
content into the water system.
Authorities in the small city of Nikko in Japan’s Tochigi Prefecture,
some 175 km away from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, have said that
at least 334 bags containing radioactive soil have been swept into a
tributary of the Kinugawa river, The Asahi Shimbun reports.
According to the city’s authorities, the washed-away waste was only part of hundreds of bags being stored at the Kobyakugawa Sakura Koen park alongside the river. Another 132 bags of waste reportedly rolled down the slopes.
