Slightly radioactive Fukushima soil being used at Japanese prime minister's office to prove safety

Decontaminated but slightly radioactive soil from Fukushima has been delivered to the Japanese prime minister’s office to be reused in an effort to showcase its safety. Officials say the soil meets safety standards set by the Environment Ministry and the International Atomic Energy Agency. It will be covered with topsoil in a lawn garden to keep radiation levels negligible and monitored regularly. Saturday's delivery marks the first reuse of such soil outside Fukushima experiments. The government hopes this move will reassure the public of its safety as it seeks to reduce the massive volume of contaminated soil stored near the nuclear plant.
