Radioactive soil to be used for roads

Poisoning fears as Japan plans to use RADIOACTIVE Fukushima soil to build roads

Poisoning fears as Japan plans to use RADIOACTIVE Fukushima soil to build roads
THERE are fears people could be poisoned amid plans to use radioactive soil from Fukushima to build roads.

The country’s Environment Ministry wants to use the radiation-tainted material to rebuild a number of roads in the region that was devastated by a tsunami in 2011.

But the proposal has sparked fury among residents over fears they could be poisoned by the soil.

A briefing about the plans on Thursday saw angry scenes erupt, with locals in the city of Nihonmatsu yelling about how the roads will be “contaminated”.

Authorities have been desperately trying to convince people that it will be safe, saying the soil will be buried under clean earth that will “block” any harmful radiation.


Much of the Fukushima Prefecture has been a no-go zone after the earthquake and subsequent nuclear meltdown.

But the Japanese Government is still trying to encourage survivors of the disaster to move back to their homes in the area.

This is despite high levels of radiation being found, which has spread for miles.

Sure! Let's just move the stuff to new areas. We all know how well roads hold up....earthquakes and all.....

Shocking how some groups of people have such disregard for life

If there is such an outcry over this because of public safety, how come the country is still considered inhabitable?
Everything must be contaminated by now, considering the power plant disaster has apparently contaminated 30% of the worlds oceans.

The Japanese government is literally trying to sweep this debacle away. And the rest of the world is just ignoring it as well.

not sure if everyone is ignoring it or if 90% of everyone is just blind to it and believe that its all ok.... I think that the world governments aren't necessarily ignoring it, its just that when mox fuel burns it really cant be stopped..pretty much no one really knows how to stop or contain it.

Putting radioactive material into the public domain is unconscionable and there is no way to make this ok. So sad for those poor people
