Press watches as gov’t dumps radioactive waste into Tokyo Bay « ENENews.com

Tokyo on Feb. 2 invited reporters to see how ash from incinerated sludge — including some contaminated with radioactive substances — is shipped from a sewage plant to be buried at a disposal site outside a breakwater in Tokyo Bay. [...]

Radioactive cesium levels in the ash are apparently far below national standards at 1,000 to 2,000 becquerels per kilogram. [...]

A total of about 2,600 tons of incinerated sludge are held at six other sewage plants in the Tama region, and the metropolitan government will [...] move the ash to the disposal site.
