FUKUSHIMA prefecture has opened its first beach to swimmers since last year's nuclear disaster after judging the water to be safe.
About 1000 people descended on Nakoso beach on Monday.
The beach is about 65 kilometres south of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, where three reactors melted down after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
The opening was celebrated with beach volleyball games and hula dancers from a nearby spa.

Considering the fact that they have continually dumped (and leaked) radioactive wastewater from the plants, due to lack of impossible storage/treatments for such a huge amount of water, straight into the ocean since this all began, and radioactive contaminated Tuna are now showing up off the coast of California and Oregon, I would definately say there are still HUGE problems at the plants. And that's an understatement. Just google Fukushima reactor, and you'll find untold amounts of problems still at Fukushima (and around Japan from it).

Even though they say it is safe and the beach is 65kms from the actual plant, i am pretty sure I would not be swimming in the water, or playing in the sand.
How ironic that the world was going to end according to some, last year when the nuclear plant started to spew forth toxic radiation into the environment.
Today people are back on the beach playing beach games.
Someone is lying
