Christian Science Monitor : Since the nuclear meltdown at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi plant last year, hundreds of bags of radioactive dirt and other contaminated debris have been buried in parks and other public areas, writes Winifred Bird for the Christian Science Monitor. Although sanctioned by the Japanese government as a way to reduce local radiation levels, the burials have for the most part been kept secret from local residents. As news of the cover-up has started leaking out, it has added fuel to the growing protest movement against Japan’s aura of secrecy regarding its nuclear industry.
