Full decontamination work has begun in a town near the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Futaba Town is the last of 11 local municipalities to undergo government decontamination.
The work in Futaba has been delayed due to negotiations over how to rebuild the community, while decontamination in the other 10 municipalities has ended or is underway.
About 200 hectares of land in the town along the Pacific coast is designated for decontamination. With its radioactive levels relatively low, the area is designated as ready to allow early resettlement of residents.
Contractors hired by the government cut grass and removed dirt in ditches on Wednesday.
Contamination work for residential and farming areas is scheduled to be completed by next March.
96 percent of Futaba is still designated as a no-entry zone due to high radiation levels. Town officials are requesting decontamination for that part too, but no decision has been made on the matter.
