The funds are linked to the construction of temporary storage facilities for radioactive waste in those towns. The government plans to build facilities in Futaba and Okuma towns for storing radioactive waste generated by the decontamination effort at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. The 2 towns host the nuclear plant, which was damaged by the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. On August 8, the government told Fukushima Prefecture and its municipalities that it would pay them a total of 301 billion yen, or about 3 billion dollars, if they consent to the construction of temporary storage facilities. The central government has already explained about the plan to the prefectural assembly. The sources say the Futaba and Okuma assemblies decided to hold conferences next Tuesday to hear the government explain about the subsidy. And next Wednesday the government is to provide explanations for representatives of the towns' residents at 2 locations in Fukushima Prefecture. Senior officials of the Environment Ministry are to attend these sessions to explain how the subsidy would be used to help recreate living conditions, including child care and support for people looking for work, and to maintain residents' ties with their hometowns. Fukushima Prefecture and the two towns are expected to make the final decision based on reactions from their assemblies and residents. The decision is likely to come by the time Prime Minister Shinzo Abe conducts his planned cabinet reshuffle on September 3. S.
