Japan:Officials at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) have admitted to the NRA that they are storing 406 tons of highly radioactive liquid waste at the Tokai Reprocessing Plant in Ibaraki Prefecture. Although JAEA plans to treat the waste and eventually bury it, that process could take up to 20 years. In the meantime, if an earthquake or tsunami were to shut down power at the plant, 100 billion Becquerels of radioactive materials could be released into the atmosphere within 24 hours.
