Japan's new Environment Minister Nobuteru Ishihara says he will work with Fukushima to decontaminate the prefecture following last year's nuclear disaster.
Ishihara met prefectural governor Yuhei Sato in Fukushima City on Thursday. Much of the prefecture was contaminated by radioactivity from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
Ishihara said that he wants to discuss candidly with prefectural officials building a storage facility for radioactive waste and other issues.
Sato thanked Ishihara for visiting the prefecture immediately after taking his Cabinet post.
The governor said he wants the central government to understand the feelings of residents and the problems facing local communities.
Ishihara later told reporters he could not say yet when the government will begin to study a possible storage site.
He said the government should first obtain the understanding and trust of local people.
