The normal rate before the Fukushima nuclear disaster was 0.08 microsieverts an hour.Traffic lights and street lanterns light the 114 road as it curves off towards the exclusion zone at Tsushima, a village nestled between mountains in a beautiful green valley in the district of Namie. After the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant, winds blew radioactive contamination directly towards Namie for three days, exposing its citizens to high levels of radiation. No one was warned. Thousands of the village’s inhabitants have now been evacuated and are living in temporary homes in Nihonmatsu. Whether they will be able to return to their villages remains an open question.Locations:Asia-Fukushima Prefecture-Japan-TsushimaDate:1 Nov, 2011Credit:© Robert Knoth / GreenpeaceMaximum size:8746px X 7173pxKeywords:Autumn-Day-Fog-Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant-KWCI (GPI)-Landscapes-Natural disasters-Nuclear (campaign title)-Nuclear accidents-Nuclear radiation-Outdoors-Overhead power lines-Roads-Rural scenes-Utility polesShoot:Contaminated Landscapes near FukushimaImages of contaminated landscapes in the Fukushima area, in preparation for the one year anniversary of the Japanese tsunami and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant disasters.Related Collections:Fukushima ShadowlandsFukushima One Year On5th Anniversary of Fukushima Nuclear Disaster (Photos & Videos)2nd Anniversary of Fukushima Disaster Feature (All Photographers)
