Japan will bury contaminated soil in some forests

Half a year after a consecutive nuclear power plant disaster, Japan has found a way to deal with the huge amount of radioactive soil in Fukushima.

On September 29, the Japanese Ministry of Forestry decided to allow the entire land of radioactive contamination in the March Fukushima nuclear plant to explode in some of the managed forests.

Continuous nuclear plant explosions have caused all of the land here to be radioactive.

Initially, this work will be carried out in Tamura City, Fukushima Prefecture. Forests selected to bury radioactive soil must be away from residential areas and ensure the following three conditions: (1) The soil surface is relatively flat, with little slope. (2) Must be approved by residents living in the area. (3) Less risk of erosion due to natural disasters and floods.

The Japanese Ministry of Forestry has agreed to bury contaminated soil into forests.

Currently, these recipients are still investigating more about the method of burying contaminated soil, particularly after cutting down the forest trees, will spread special absorbent membrane on the soil, radioactive soil will be put into concrete blocks and buried deep into the ground.

Another good news is that the Japanese power company (TEPCO) is succeeding step by step in cooling the reactors of Fukushima nuclear power plant No. 1.

TEPCO Electric Power Company has succeeded initially in cooling the reactors.

According to the company 's report, on September 28, the temperature measured at the No. 2 reactor core was 99.4 degrees Celsius, it was 78 degrees in the first kiln and 79 degrees in the third. a good signal when the temperature at all reactors has dropped to below 100 degrees Celsius - this is one of the important conditions to stop the cooling process which lasts half a year.
