(Before It's News)

MOE (Ministry of the Environment) estimated 90% of contaminated soil can be reused in Fukushima prefecture by 3/30/2016.

Currently interim storage facility stocks 22,000,000 m3 of radioactive contaminated soil. MOE announced they plan to reduce the radiation level lower than 8,000 Bq/Kg and recycle it for public works. They state they can separate the radioactive substance by heat etc..

On the other hand, MOE quietly started the technology public offering to reduce and recycle the contaminated soil from 4/1/2016.

MOE estimates they can reuse 90% of the contaminated soil but they haven’t discovered the technology yet.
