Question:
If any chance with time and budget, will you visit Japan now or within a year?
Too many garbage are left out there after 311 earthquake and tsunami
in Miyagi-pref where is located beside Fukushima-pref.
According to news reports, it’s equivalent to the quantity for 23 years.
Chunk of wood, rubble, metal and “anything” from collapsed building and house.
You saw it on TV news, right?
Then the level 7 incident at Fukushima Daiichi NPP followed.
All radioactive pollution came out,
spread out to broad area including Miyagi-pref in wind
and contaminated air, soil and pacific ocean.
Then the fact is that Japanese government ask each municipalities all over Japan
to accept disposal of those garbage at each location,
and some of those municipalities will take it without any objection.
One of them is Kyoto well-known sightseeing spot where you might have ever been to.
Japanese government says that they wouldn't move those garbage if being contaminated.
International regulation prohibit such conduct as moving radiation contaminated material.
But in this case of Miyagi, I have to doubt if those garbage are radiation-contaminated.
Excuse as being below level of regulation?
So I’m asking that question above.
What do you think?
I really want to listen to your voice, to see what kind of impact is there,,,,
Once I get any response, will translate it into Japanese and post Facebook group.
Thank you for your comment in advance!!
PS ; Yes, we want to help Fukushima. But this government plan is different from it.
Answer:
Before the tsunami and earthquakes, my daughter wanted to eventually live in Japan. She loves the culture, the art...What had happened to Japan is absolutely horrible. And, the accumulating garbage issue in Miyagi is just one of the many other issues that a healing Japan will contend with. It will take time and effort, but I believe that over time the garbage issue will be delt with. People will have to place this issue on public agendas. The government is probably handling many different things and if the issue is on a public agenda, the government will eventually address the issue.
As for your original question, if I had the time and budget I would not visit Japan now or within a year....but my reasons are because of specific and important restrictions and constraints.
I wish all the best to you and Japan.
