Japan PM Commits to Accelerating Fukushima Reconstruction Efforts
(MENAFN) Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Tuesday committed to expediting governmental reconstruction initiatives in Fukushima prefecture, ravaged by the 2011 earthquake and nuclear catastrophe, media reported.
"With the determination that all of my Cabinet ministers are 'reconstruction ministers,' we will further accelerate our efforts," she stated, emphasizing the government will fulfill its responsibilities to Fukushima "to the end."
Takaichi conducted her inaugural Fukushima prefecture visit since assuming office in October, touring the disabled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in the prefecture's northeast, according to media.
At the disaster-stricken facility, Takaichi received briefings on decommissioning progress ahead of next March's 15th anniversary of the tsunami-triggered meltdown incident.
She additionally examined an interim storage site housing contaminated soil from radiation cleanup operations.
With the government's March 2045 deadline for disposing of removed Fukushima soil, she signaled determination to advance nationwide reuse of the material.
To demonstrate viability, removed Fukushima soil has been deployed at the prime minister's office front yard since July and in government ministry flowerbeds since September.
