Special bombs clean-up fund to be createdDate Posted: 2009-02-18 Takeo Kawamura, the Chief Cabinet Secretary, says removing the numerous tons of buried, corroded munitions will be a long term project that could take nearly 100 years to accomplish. The fund set up was devised following two potentially deadly explosions at construction sites last month. One heavy equipment operator whose mechanical shovel touched off an explosion was killed. There were no other injuries. Kawamura says the fund will provide equipment to conduct thorough magnetic surveys to locate ordnance and prevent explosions. Other money will be earmarked for condolence payments to victims of explosion damage. |
