More than 80% of homes remain contaminated

Radioactive decontamination following last year's nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi plant has not been completed at more than 80 percent of homes.

Japan's environment ministry studied the progress of government-funded removal of radioactive substances being undertaken by 58 cities, towns and villages in 7 prefectures around Fukushima as of the end of August.

It says work had been completed at 69 percent of educational facilities such as schools and childcare centers that were scheduled for decontamination.

51 percent of roads had been treated.
