Fukushima to decontaminate entire city (JAPAN)

[AsahinaKimi]

The Yomiuri Shimbun

The Fukushima municipal government likely will decontaminate the city's entire area in response to the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, according to city government sources.

Fukushima is the second municipality in Fukushima Prefecture that plans to decontaminate the entire area under its jurisdiction. The first is Date.

Fear of radioactive contamination is widespread among the city's residents as radiation levels in some areas of the city have been confirmed as higher than those within the 20-kilometer-radius no-entry zone surrounding the nuclear power plant.

Fukushima is about 50 kilometers from the Fukushima plant.

1. It'll take a lot more than 1 city to clean up

2. I think this is a difference between the Russians and Cernobyl...

and the Japanese and Fukashima.

I could actually see the obsessive Japanese cleaning up hot zones instead of
turning them into exclusion zones.
