Fukushina: Decontamination
March 8, 2013 - Fukushima, Japan: Clean up crews in contaminated areas shave off 5 centimeters of earth and place it in plastic bags to be carried to a temporary storage site. They also remove trees and weed, and put into black bags with a 1,000 kilogram capacity. Two years after a powerful earthquake and tsunami wrecked Japan's Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant, many towns nearby remain abandoned, too affected by radiation for residents to return for more than short visits. About 160,000 people were displaced by the nuclear disaster, and even some areas outside the 20-kilometer (12-mile) zone that initially was completely off-limits are too contaminated to be cleaned up in the foreseeable future. In others, work is proceeding on cleaning soil, leaves, grass and buildings to help reduce radiation to safer levels. (Hitoshi Katanoda/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
