They are going to accept it as of 9/6/2012, the amount is up to 11,300 tones.
It will be shared with 3 cement factories to incinerate, the ash is going to be the material of cement.
They are the factories in Kumagaya city and Hidaka city of Taiheiyo cement, and the one in Yokoze city of Mitsubishi material.
