Thank you for the link.
It is quite sad and scary to see images that remind us of the nuclear disaster there. I went over some of the images, and then I stopped.

thanks for the link. Fascinating.
Horrific photos. Should be compulsory viewing for everyone in Japan.
Thousands of those bags containing contaminated soil got washed away in recent flooding.

As jonmanjiro wrote "Should be compulsory viewing for everyone in Japan", but it isn't.
It is an ugly situation made worse by the obscurification of the Japanese government (politicians and civil servants), the media and TEPCO.
The thousands of bags of contaminated soil in other prefectures like Tochigi, Ibaraki, Chiba and Miyagi. The scale at Fukushima is far larger than other places, but problems still exists for other prefectures.
The photos illustrate the magnitude of the soil contamination, but do not show the large swath of land set aside to store contaminated cooling water from the reactors. There is no more space at Daiichi to hold water, so tanks will be built outside the facility to store the water. The water storage tanks are poorly designed, built and maintained, so water leaks. The various methods to clean the containment water has failed, so the water just sits there.
But as the Japanese PM stated to the International Olympic Committee in September 2013 during a speech to win the bid for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics "Fukushima is under control."
