3,000 Tons of Radioactive Waste Unreported Due to Fears of "False RUMORS" in Japan- says a survey!!!  WTF?!

An NHK survey has found that at least 3,000 tons of undesignated radioactive waste from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident is being kept in 30 municipalities in 7 prefectures.

Local governments and farmers have not reported that they are storing the waste, as they are worried about false rumors.

The government designates, stores and disposes of rice straw and soil that are contaminated with more than 8,000 becquerels of radioactive materials per kilogram.

However, it is up to municipalities and farmers whether to apply for the designation.

NHK surveyed more than 500 municipalities in eastern Japan and found that 3,114 tons of this type of waste is being kept in 30 municipalities in 7 prefectures, including Fukushima and Tokyo, without being designated.

Some local governments said they did not report that they were storing the waste because they are worried about false rumors.

Others said they would still have to keep the waste if it is designated, as the construction of disposal facilities is facing difficulties.

The government plans to investigate the actual situation of undesignated waste, and consider methods of disposal.

KEPCO Objects to Court Injunction to Halt Reactors

Kansai Electric Power Company has asked a court to nullify its injunction ordering it to halt 2 reactors at a nuclear plant in central Japan.

The reactors are the Number 3 and Number 4 units of KEPCO's plant in Takahama Town in Fukui Prefecture.

The Otsu District Court in Shiga Prefecture ordered the utility on Wednesday to suspend operation of the two reactors.

The court said the operator had not fully explained how it would ensure safety. It cited matters of concern over the utility's measures to prevent accidents and the likelihood that residents' lives and property could be in jeopardy.

On Monday, KEPCO filed an objection and a petition to nullify the injunction. The utility says the court decision was "unfair," and fell short of an objective judgment of the utility's argument about the safety of the reactors.

KEPCO shut down the Number 3 unit on Thursday, one day after the court injunction.

On January 29th, the Number 3 unit became Japan's 3rd reactor to be restarted under the stricter government requirements introduced after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident.

The Number 4 unit was restarted on February 26th, but it automatically shut down 3 days later due to a malfunction. The utility said it would not restart it before it reports the cause of the trouble to regulators and takes countermeasures.

Five years after the disaster at Fukushima shook the public’s trust in nuclear power, questions are arising about how secure such plants in the United States are, and whether they are actually safer and better prepared for major disasters by comparison. RT’s Simone del Rosario is joined by investigative journalist Paul Dirienzo, author of Hidden History of Nuclear Power, to talk about the state and vulnerability of nuclear plants, and why some protective measures are still behind the times.
