Japan to spend $470 million in effort to deal with toxic water at Fukushima plant

Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe, and the government decided to spend 470 million dollars to deal with the nuclear accident and the toxic water crisis. National authorities are taking a part in aiding the aftermath and cope with the Tokyo Electric power company struggles. 

It happened approximately one month ago and 300 tons of toxic water was spilled. Another issue is that radioactive groundwater is leaking into the pacific ocean and is one of the biggest long-term problem. 

A plan that the government came up with was to freeze the ground that acquired 320 million dollars to prevent radioactive particles to seep out. However, this technique was not used for years and decades. This is the only way to hinder the leaks of groundwater permanently. TEPCO is involved and tries to help their problem.
