Fukushima radiation

No-Go Zone: Govt lets people home despite Fukushima radiation alarm

In Japan, a group of government officials has decided to come clean and admit that residents of Fukushima may never return to their homes. They say that radiation levels there cannot be brought back to normal any time soon and are urging the leadership to abandon its promise to make the area fit for living in. But only a handful of those residents actually want to go back - more than two years after an earthquake and tsunami crippled the Daiichi nuclear power plant.






Japan To Send Residents Home To Nuclear Wasteland

The town is a “nuclear wasteland” and 20 year old photographer, Dylan Pukall captured what can only be described as heartbreaking but telling photos of a Fukushima no-go zone, where he says “It was so silent that the birds seemed too loud,” and called it “spooky… eerie.”
The radiation levels inside these no-go zones is below danger levels, so the Japanese government is promising people can go home, despite scientists saying that it is “suicidal,” because radiation migrates and exists in hotspots....[ ]
.....Consider that 27 years later, the Chernobyl exclusion zone is still empty, as the photos publish here from April 2013 clearly shows.
Also consider the health effects such as as data on stillbirths, spontaneous abortions, cancers, and more since 3/11 is still being hidden by the Japanese government, just 30 months after the Fukushima meltdown.
With the Chernobyl example and the health effects, why would the Japanese government even consider letting people back into the no-go zones when it is clear they should be evacuating even more zones and widening the area of danger to protect their people?
