Ogawara has been an organic farmer near Tamura City, 40km from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, for 30 years. She says that she is afraid for her children's future, and feels ashamed that she didn’t take action against the nuclear power station before it was too late. She no longer knows if she can continue as a farmer, as the soil in the area may be contaminated. Greenpeace is working in the area to monitor radioactive contamination of food and soil to estimate the health and safety risks for the local population.Locations:East Asia-Fukushima Prefecture-Japan-TamuraDate:7 Apr, 2011Credit:© Christian Åslund / GreenpeaceMaximum size:4256px X 2832pxKeywords:Agricultural land-Agriculture-Close ups-Day-Disasters-Earthquakes-East Asian ethnicities-Farmers-Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant-Gamma ray spectrometers (GRS)-Greenpeace staff-Hands-KWCI (GPI)-Nuclear (campaign title)-Nuclear accidents-Nuclear energy-Nuclear radiation-Organic farming-Outdoors-Radiation-Radiation measurement-TEPCO-Two people-WomenShoot:Japanese Nuclear DisasterA Greenpeace team on the ground in Japan monitors radiation levels near the crisis-stricken Fukushima/Daiichi nuclear plant, and documents the devastating affects on the local population and environment.Related Collections:Japanese Nuclear Disaster (Full Selection) (Photos & Videos)
