Corruption At “Decontaminating” Radioactive Towns In Japan
Wolf Richter www.testosteronepit.com www.amazon.com/author/wolfrichterOn Friday, Katsutaka Idogawa, mayor of Futaba, a ghost town of once upon a time 7,000 people near Fukushima No. 1, told his staff that evacuees might not be able to return for 30 years. Or never, given the age of many of them. He spoke in Kazo, Saitama Prefecture, where the town’s government has settled. It was the first estimate of a timeframe. But it all depends on successful decontamination efforts. And they’ve turned into a corruption scandal.
I’ve written about top-level corruption in the Japanese nuclear industry before [check out A Revolt, the Quiet Japanese Way or Whitewash versus Reality: “Disaster Made in Japan”], but this time, it hit the companies doing the decontamination work and the Environment Ministry.http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2013-01-06/corruption-%E2%80%9Cdecontaminating%E2%80%9D-radioactive-towns-japan
