FUKUSHIMA—Two parking lots in the city of Fukushima were declared off-limits to the public on May 7 after high concentrations of radioactive cesium were detected in the exposed soil there.
Local authorities shut down the parking lots for emergency decontamination operations after a nonprofit organization found a maximum of 430,000 Becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium during a survey conducted between April 29-May 2 at the behest of local residents. |
