IWAKI, Japan (Kyodo) -- A beach in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture opened Monday as the prefecture's only functioning beach for this summer, with all other beaches to remain closed following the Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011.
At Nakoso beach, located about 65 kilometers south of the damaged plant, three local women working as tour guides marked the start of the season on the Marine Day public holiday by swimming in an event that was also spiced up by hula dancers and beach volleyball players.
The radioactive concentration in the seawater is below 1 becquerel per liter, and radiation in the air also poses no health risk, according to the Iwaki city office.
"The water is still cold but it will be a good season. I want many people to come," said Yukiei Hakozaki, 22, one of the women.
