Greenpeace Japan has been regularly conducting radiation survey in the Fukushima Prefecture after the meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in March 2011, and conducted its 33rd survey in November 2021.
During a week-long survey, the research team measured radiation levels at five locations in Namie and Iitate. In the difficult-to-return zone, not only hotspots but high air doses were still measured. More than ten years have passed since the accident, but there are still many uninhabitable areas around the plant. Checkpoints restrict traffic around the highly contaminated areas, and a number of large trucks carry contaminated soil removed by decontamination. These show the reality that the accident is still continuing in Fukushima.
