Radiation decontamination efforts in Fukushima

FUKUSHIMA, Japan - An employee of a local agricultural association in nuclear crisis-hit Fukushima strips bark of an apple tree in an attempt to remove radioactive materials on fruit trees in Fukushima, northeastern Japan, on Nov. 23, 2011. Radiation levels in the tree trunks were lowered by as much as more than 80 percent through experimental efforts to recover the sale of fruit produce from the prefecture.

    FUKUSHIMA, Japan - Vegetables produced in Fukushima Prefecture are withdrawn from the shelves of a supermarket in the city of Fukushima on March 23, 2011. Prime Minister Naoto Kan warned consumers the same day against eating leaf vegetables such as spinach harvested in the prefecture, the first measure involving food consumption to be taken since radioactive materials far exceeding legal limits were found in the vegetables following the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
