A road cleaning vehicle passes by a large radioactive waste storage facility where sacks of waste from decontamination operations that followed the destruction of the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami (in Japan often known as the Great East Japan Earthquake) are kept.
