Radioactive ash from metropolitan area has nowhere to go

Incinerator ash containing high levels of radioactive cesium is piling up in some municipalities around Tokyo as Kosaka, a town in Akita Prefecture that has one of the largest private-sector ash landfills in Japan, has shut its doors to ash from the metropolitan area since July.

 Kosaka adopted the tough stance after it was revealed that ash containing levels of cesium exceeding the government-set limit shipped from the city of Matsudo, Chiba Prefecture, had been buried at its landfill without notice. . . .
