Tsukumi City abandoned to accept radioactive debris

Public conference of accepting debris

On May 27th, Tsukumi City held a public conference to radioactive debris from northeastern Japan, but most citizens opposed the plan.  People were anxious about health and environmental problems.

Tsukumi City decided not to accept the debris this time.  However, Koji Yoshimoto, Tsukumi Mayor said that he would reconsider the issue and have a plan to accept and burn the debris in the future.

Most citizens continue to refuse to accept the debris.  They gather radioactive data of other cities which have accepted debris from northeast.
