Japan outlines spending plans for Fukushima water crisis
The Japanese government plans to spend 47 billion yen ($473.05 million) to deal with mounting amounts of radioactive water at Tokyo Electric Power Co's wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant, the country's industry minister said on Tuesday.
The government will spend 32 billion yen building a wall of frozen earth around wrecked reactors to prevent groundwater entering basements and mixing with water being used to cool melted fuel rods, industry minister Toshimitsu Motegi told reporters. (Reuters)
