In this photo released Saturday by Tokyo Electric Power Co, plastic bags containing protective clothing used by workers battling the nuclear disaster at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi plant, are piled up at a soccer training ground in the J-Village, an athletes' village that now serves as base camp for the workers, in Hirono, Fukushima Prefecture. TEPCO has not yet decided how to dispose of this low-level radioactive waste properly, local media said.

Yeah, TEPCO. What exactly are you gonna do with those suits? They will probably do something stupid with them, and then apologize for it....like always.

Who knows what's in those plastic bags. And if they are really used protective clothing, that huge pile of white stuff must be highly contaminated/radioactive and why are the other workers hanging around and handling them so relaxed as if it wasn't dangerous without protective suit and mask? Or are they calling those white pajamas that the three workers wearing, protective suit? Are the same in the plastic bags? Those suits are not protective suits, no face mask, the suits cannot be tightly closed at the ankle etc, etc. Did the others worked in that at the NPP?
Shall we ask for pictures of the camp to see in what circumstances the workers live and accommodated?
They decided long ago, they just don't know how to do so that nobody would notice it.

TEPCO may say Mottainai, Mottainai and recycle them for radioactive safe T shirts??? LOL

Thanks Tepco, for ruining not only Fukushima, but many lovely parts of this lovely nation called Japan. I do hope the braniacs at Tepco can prove they are smarter than Homer Simpson back in Springfield, and do like Homer and his beloved brain, think brain think!! What would old Homer do with these radioactive contaminated suits?? Think! Brain! Think!

Hundreds of great inventions and patents that could save humankind are bought up and now lie and dug well guarded in the safes of multinational companies and lobbies waiting until they can milk one working line of business dry . Only after it happened they will find the time adequate to pull the new one. Same stands to nuclear energy especially there, in one of the most ruthless branch of business in the world , the energetic.

They'll burn them :(

i have the perfect idea with what to do with all this radioactive waste. pile them up at all those uninhabited islands that belong to japan but are claimed by china. then the emperor can send a message to the primer of china saying "ok the islands are all yours, we even built up some glow in the dark earthworks on them for you".

Said suits will be distributed to prefectures throughout Japan and burned so everyone can share in the contamination joy. Why? Who knows but that is what they will do.

This is a photo of the only remaining suits they have not burned yet.

TEPCO seems to keep coming up with new surprises. Wonder what's next on their list ... ?? They're probably saving a biggie for Halloween ...

Sad to see a village that offered so much to athletes turned into a dumping ground for radioactive suits.
