(Before It's News)

4 municipal schools backfilled the contaminated soil in their school area in Yokohama city.

A city councilor testified in the municipal assembly of 10/1/2014.

Since 311, 20 schools implemented decontamination to remove the contaminated soil (>0.59 μSv/h at 1cm from the ground, >0.23 μSv/h at 1m from the ground). By the end of this September, 4 municipal schools backfilled the removed contaminated soil to the ground. 16 schools are still preserving 1740 L of the soil though the highest atmospheric dose was still 0.98 μSv/h.

They state their backfilling the soil does not violate the municipal regulation, however the specific density of radioactive material is not published. Nuclide analysis result has not been announced either.
