OKUMA, Japan - At the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant north of Tokyo, workers in protective suits are still removing radioactive material from reactors that melted down after an earthquake and tsunami knocked out its power and cooling nearly nine years ago.
Officials from Tokyo Electric, which owns the plant, also showed new tanks to hold increasing amounts of contaminated water. “Tepco tries to disclose all information to the public as soon as possible. If something happens at the site, we let people know by email, for example,” said Kan Nihonyanagi, risk communicator at Fukushima, told Reuters in an interview at the site.
The Japanese government may decide within months, and either process would take years to complete, experts say. Athletes from at least one country, South Korea, are planning to bring their own radiation detectors and food this summer.
