Japanese minister charts 'steady progress' after Fukushima
In the five-and-a-half years since the Great East Japan Earthquake, "steady progress" is being made in the decommissioning process and contaminated water management at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, Hirotaka Ishihara, state minister of the cabinet office of Japan, told the International Atomic Energy Agency's 60th General Conference yesterday. Decontamination and environmental remediation are "moving forward" and the evacuation zones are "growing smaller", Ishihara said.http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/RS-Japanese-minister-charts-steady-progress-after-Fukushima-27091601.html
