Ningyo-toge Environmental Engineering Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has maintained and preserved the Ningyo-toge and Togo Mines under the related laws, including the Mine Safety Law. JAEA has been planning to close these Mines to prevent mine-pollution and reduce radiological impact to as low as achievably possible, for lasting protection of individuals and the environment. Among the mine-related facilities that are subject to environmental remediation, the Mill Tilings Pond is given the top priority. So far, basic concept has been discussed in parallel with data acquisition and designing for some of remediation activities.
