Tokyo: Japan said on Tuesday that it would use a mild radioactive soil taken near the Fukushima nuclear plant destroyed by a tsunami. Japan is planning to use this radioactive soil in flower beds outside the office of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to prove that its use is safe.

Message is to be sent to the public

The soil was removed from the Fukushima province under the strings work after the 2011 nuclear disaster and has since been kept in interim storage. Officials say that some of this soil has now reached a safe level for reuse. The purpose of using soil in Ishiba’s office in Tokyo is to show the public that it is safe.
