New Fukushima facility shrinks nuclear sludgeThe city of Fukushima now has Japan's first facility capable of reducing the volume of the radioactive sludge from the 2011 nuclear disaster. The facility was installed by the Environment Ministry in a municipal sewage treatment plant. A ceremony was held in the city on Saturday. It will dry the sludge at a temperature of 450 degrees Celsius and reduce it to about one-fifth of its original volume. The Environment Ministry expects the facility to treat 30 tons of sludge daily. Such sludge has been accumulating in sewage treatment plants in Fukushima and neighboring prefectures due to a lack of progress in the building of interim storage facilities. The volume of such sludge in Fukushima Prefecture alone has risen to more than 68,000 tons. [ link to www3.nhk.or.jp] .
