Debris transportation from quake-hit Miyako to Tokyo

Debris transportation from quake-hit Miyako to Tokyo

MIYAKO, Japan - Workers measure radiation levels of a truck container onto which debris was loaded for transportation to Tokyo from a temporary debris storage site in Miyako, Iwate Prefecture, northeastern Japan, on Nov. 2, 2011. Amid fears of contamination by radioactive substances leaked from the crisis-hit Fukushima nuclear plant, Tokyo is the only municipality, aside from some in the northeast, that has so far stepped forward to accept rubble from areas hit by the March disasters to help expedite reconstruction.
