Flecon bags piling up in a cemetery, Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture （June 13, 2019）

Words under the clock:”Harmony between people and the environment   Attractive city Koriyama”

Tons of black “flecon bags” – a Japanese contraction of flexible container bag – which include soil and waste polluted with radioactive substances are piling up at Higashiyama Cemetery in the city of Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture.

These bags were temporarily stored on the site, surrounded by stainless steel plates. There are no signs of “radioactive waste” – simply written as “removed soil.”

Koriyama, 70 kilometers west of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, shows relatively higher level of radiation due to the radioactive fallout from the crippled plant.

The cemetery is located in 10 kilometers southeast from JR Koriyama station.
