Fukushima Updatevia NHK World / August 8, 2014 / The Japanese government plans to provide a subsidy of about three billion dollars over 30 years for regional development in Fukushima Prefecture. The grant is to be offered when local communities agree to build temporary storage facilities for highly radioactive waste.
Environment Minister Nobuteru Ishihara (pictured) and Reconstruction Minister Takumi Nemoto will explain on Friday the grant for the local governments to Fukushima Governor Yuhei Sato and the mayors of Futaba and Okuma towns.
The government plans to build facilities in the two towns to store highly radioactive waste generated in the prefecture by the decontamination effort following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant disaster. The two towns host the damaged nuclear plant.
The ministers did not refer to the amount of the subsidy on July 28th when they met the governor and mayors. At the meeting, the ministers told them the government will allow landowners to keep their property rights for the land where it plans to build the facilities. The government had originally planned to buy land for the facilities from the owners.

I guess it’s all to just keep up the appearance that nuclear waste is just something like trash you simply store.
A doctor was recently arrested in Japan for ‘terrorism’, I read.
His ‘terrorism’?
He spoke out of the incredible increases in cancers – mostly thyroid – and that Japan is being overwhelmed by it.
And THAT is in Tokyo, 200 miles south. They’re now forcing resident to return to Fukushima.
It’s sad that a government, in order to hide their failure – and rather than admit it – will force it’s own people to die.
But I guess that’s life now in all these ‘free, democratic nations’.
Since it’s widely known that government produces no wealth who do they provide with anything before stealing it from someone else? Everyone wants to be a parasite on the government without a clue that the government is a parasite on them. To look to parasites for salvation is not good strategy.
