NAGOYA (Kyodo) -- Toyota Motor Corp. is considering helping dispose of the massive amounts of debris left by the powerful earthquake and tsunami that devastated northeastern Japan last year, Aichi Gov. Hideaki Omura said Thursday.
Omura said he made a formal request to Toyota to build a disposal facility on the premises of its plant in Tahara, Aichi Prefecture in central Japan, and the automaker gave a forward-looking response.
The governor also said Chubu Electric Power Co., which serves five central Japan prefectures, offered to study accepting the Aichi prefectural government's proposal to build a disposal facility at the utility's thermal power plant in Hekinan, also in Aichi.
Both Toyota and Chubu Electric said their decisions will be based on the premise that the prefectural government gains the acceptance of the municipalities where the plants are located.
There are concerns that rubble from areas hit by the quake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 may be contaminated with radioactive materials released due to the disaster-triggered nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant.
