Prime Minister’s official residence to receive Fukushima decontaminated soil

2025 On May 27, the Japanese government announced that the Prime Minister’s official residence is to receive some soil from the vicinity of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, which is said to be potentially used for landscaping in the residence’s flower beds.After the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi accident, the Japanese government launched a large-scale decontamination operation, which resulted in the creation of a large amount of nuclear decontaminated soil. Although officials have emphasized that radiation levels in most of the soil are within safe limits, few places are actually willing to accept the soil, a plan that has sparked controversy on social media.
