A cement company discharged radioactive water into Tokyo Bay that was far in excess of the provisional limit set by the government- up to 15 times the limit for caesium.
The company accepts more than 30,000 tons of refuse incineration ash generated in Chiba Prefecture a year and processes it into cement.
Asked as to why it continued to discharge the water into the bay even after finding high radiation levels, a company official said, "We could not judge whether to stop because there are no clear legal standards, and we could not refuse incinerated ash coming from local bodies because it had nowhere else to go."
