An Environment Ministry panel said Saturday it is possible to build interim facilities in three towns in Fukushima Prefecture to store soil contaminated by the nuclear catastrophe.
On-site surveys show that the towns of Okuma, Naraha and Futaba have ground solid enough to build such facilities, the panel said.
The panel’s conclusion is “a major step forward,” Senior Vice Environment Minister Shinji Inoue told reporters.
However, officials of the three towns remain cautious about hosting the facilities.

Note: For those who feel nuclear is "clean energy" please send me your address as I am creating a data-bank of possible locations to store thousands of tons of high level waste sitting around at the hundreds of nuclear sites around the world. Most sites are running out of room and after Yucca was cancelled... It will also be a convenient place to store dirt scraped up around any future nuclear meltdowns or other accidents. After all when a plant melts down the isotopes spread over a huge area then across the entire world so there is a lot of topsoil that is rendered unusable for a few thousand years. The world desperately needs places to put this stuff and generously offering your city, town or neighborhood will not go without notice from the world community. Please check with your neighbors before submitting your address as they may have health concerns that differ from yours.
Second request....the world desperately needs signs that can be placed on this nuclear waste that will last several thousands of years to keep people away. All ideas for a material that will last the duration are welcome.
