Bags standing in rainwater and in the landscape in Iitate, Namie and Minamisoma, Fukushima prefecture in Japan. Adopting a return to normal policy, the Japanese government undertook an unprecedented decontamination program for areas of Fukushima contaminated by the triple reactor meltdown in March 2011. Fukushima prefecture is 70 percent mountainous forest which has not and cannot be decontaminated, with decontamination efforts focused along roads and in towns, farmland and in narrow areas around people’s houses. Even so, the result has been that the Japanese authorities have produced a nuclear waste crisis, with over 13 million cubic meters of waste located in 147,000 locations (as of July 2017). The Japanese government is determined to force people back to their homes despite the on-going radiation risks and the vast volumes of nuclear waste.Locations:Asia-Fukushima Prefecture-JapanDate:19 Sep, 2017Credit:© GreenpeaceDuration:59sAudio format:Final MixProduction Type :WEB VIDEOKeywords:Aerial view-Day-Diggers-Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant-Greenpeace campaigners-KWCI (GPI)-Nuclear (campaign title)-Nuclear energy-Nuclear storage-Nuclear waste-OutdoorsShoot:Radiation Survey in Japan and Fukushima Survivors Stories (Videos)A comprehensive survey by Greenpeace Japan in the towns of Iitate and Namie in Fukushima prefecture, including the exclusion zone, revealed radiation levels up to 100 times higher than the international limit for public exposure. The high radiation levels in these areas pose a significant risk to returning evacuees until at least the 2050’s and well into next century. The findings come just two weeks ahead of a critical decision at at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) review on Japan’s human rights record and commitments to evacuees from the nuclear disaster.Greenpeace conducted the investigations in September and October 2017 measuring tens of thousands of data points around homes, forests, roads and farmland in the open areas of Namie and Iitate, as well as inside the closed Namie exclusion zone. The government plans to open up small areas of the exclusion zone, including Obori and Tsushima, for human habitation in 2023. The survey shows the decontamination program to be ineffective, combined with a region that is 70-80% mountainous forest which cannot be decontaminated.Related Collections:Nuclear Waste in Fukushima (Photos & Videos)
