Fukushima Evacuees Return to Tamura City
Sami Watanabe 83 and her long-time friend Michiko Watanabe 78, chat at her temporary prefab housing in the centre of Tamura City. Both are evacuees from the Miyakoji area in Tamura City. Her old house is inside the 20km evacuation zone of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. She goes back to her old house twice a week. It is expected that part of Tamura City in the 20km evacuation zone will be the first community where the government lifts its evacuation order as decontamination by the government is finished.
