More storage space needed for Daiichi debris
The people in charge of decommissioning the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant say they don't have enough storage space for all the debris.
Engineers at the Tokyo Electric Power Company discussed the problem with government officials on Monday.
They estimate that the decommissioning work will produce 560,000 cubic meters of debris over the next 13 years.
They plan to burn wood and other combustibles. They will crush low radiation rubble and use it to pave roads in the plant's compound. They estimate this will reduce the volume of debris to 220,000 cubic meters.
Workers are building storage facilities at the plant. But the engineers say they'll need 160,000 cubic meters more storage space. That's enough to fill more than 200 swimming pools.

Fishermen submit water-release demands
The head of a Japanese fishermen's federation has submitted the group's demands to the government regarding releasing underground water into the sea at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
The government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company have proposed a plan to pump up underground water before it flows into the nuclear facility and release it into the sea.
The measure is being studied as a way to reduce the amount of radioactive contaminated water building up at the plant.
Hiroshi Kishi, chairman of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Associations, handed a written list of demands to Industry Minister Toshimitsu Motegi on Monday.

Fukushima school reopens
An elementary school has reopened in its original location near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. This comes after the government lifted its evacuation order for the area.
The school in the Miyakoji district of Tamura City held a ceremony on Monday to welcome new students.
Following the 2011 nuclear accident, the school had held classes in a temporary building about 20 kilometers away. But the government lifted its evacuation order for part of its school zone last Tuesday after the area was decontaminated.
