04 December 2012, more than a year after the GE designed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor disaster began, decontamination of residential areas isn’t anywhere near completion.
Japan’s Environment Ministry released the results of their study of the progress of radiation cleanup. More than 80% of homes have not been decontaminated!
Of nearly 100,000 homes picked for decontamination only 18% have been cleaned up.
69% of educational facilities were cleaned up, as well as 51% of roads. Only 38% of parks and sports facilities have been decontaminated.
