Concerning the selection of the final disposal site for "high-level radioactive waste", so-called "nuclear waste," generated from the spent nuclear fuel of nuclear power plants, Shoutsu-cho, Hokkaido, will be the first step in the selection of "literature survey". We are considering applying.
To conclude whether or not to apply, Shoutsu-cho held a briefing session for residents from 7th to 15th of this month at seven locations in the town, and the mayor Haruo Kataoka decided to consider applying for himself. I'm going to explain.
Regarding the application, Governor Suzuki of Hokkaido and the local governments in the surrounding area are demanding careful judgment, and there are also voices of concern from rumors from the fishery cooperatives in Hokkaido.
Mayor Kataoka will decide whether to apply after next month based on the voices of the residents, and he will pay attention to what kind of opinions will be given at the series of briefing sessions.
