A truck occasionally

the main street of Japan's
mostly deserted seaside
town of Namie.
Workers repair a damaged

60 employees busily
prepare for the return of
former residents in the
largely untouched town
hall. Not far away, two
wild boars stick their

Returning to deserted
Fukushima
Updated Wednesday , March 8 , 2017

Signs of life are returning
nearly six years after panicked
residents fled radiation
spewed by the nearby
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
power plant, when it was
struck by an earthquake and
tsunami.
Still, only several hundred of
the original 21,500 residents
plan to return in the first
wave, estimates Hidezo Sato, a
former seed merchant who
helped draw up a blueprint to
rebuild the town.
"As a person who used to sell
seeds for a living, I believe
now is a time to sow seeds"
for rebuilding, said Sato, 71.
"Harvesting is far away. But I
hope I can manage to help
bring about fruition."
Since November, people
who registered have been
allowed to spend nights in
the town, but residents
will not need permission
to stay round the clock
after Japan lifts evacuation
orders for parts of Namie
and three other towns at
the end of March.
Just 4 km (2.5 miles) away
from the wrecked plant,
Namie is the closest area
cleared for the return of
residents since the
disaster of March 11,
2011.
But the town will never be
the same, as radiation
contamination has left a
big area off limits. And it
may never be inhabitable.

A geiger counter measures a radiation level of 0.127 microsievert per hour.
More than half - 53 percent - of former residents
have decided not to return, a government poll
showed last September. They cited concerns over
radiation and the safety of the nuclear plant,
which is being dismantled in an arduous, 40-year
effort.
More than three-quarters of those aged 29 or less
do not intend to return, which means old people
could form the bulk of the town's population in a
future largely devoid of children.

"Young people will not
go back," said Yasuo
Fujita, a former Namie
resident who runs a
restaurant in Tokyo, the
capital. "There will
neither be jobs nor
education for children."
Fujita said he did not
want to live near a
possible storage site for
contaminated soil, now
being systematically
removed.
26 JAN 2017. NAMIE TOWN, JAPAN. REUTERS/TORU HANAI

Radiation levels at Namie
town hall stood at 0.07
microsieverts per hour on
Feb. 28, little different from
the rest of Japan.
But in the nearby town of
Tomioka, a dosimeter read
1.48 microsieverts an hour,
nearly 30 times higher than
in downtown Tokyo,
underscoring lingering
radiation hotspots.
For the towns' evacuation
orders to be lifted,
radiation must fall below 20
millisieverts per year. They
must also have functioning
utilities and telecoms
systems, besides basic
health, elderly care and
postal services.

Namie, which used to have
six grade schools and three
middle schools, plans to
eventually open a joint
elementary-junior high
school. So children will
need to commute to
schools elsewhere initially.

Doctor Yuji Kimura poses for a photograph at the town's temporary clinic.
A hospital opens later this month, staffed
with one full-time and several part-time
doctors.
Reconstruction efforts may create some jobs.
The town's mayor, Tamotsu Baba, hopes to
draw research and robotics firms.

Prospects for business are not exactly
bright in the short term, but lumber
company president Munehiro Asada said
he restarted his factory in the town to
help drive its recovery.
"Sales barely reach a tenth of what they
used to be," he said. "But running the
factory is my priority. If no one returns,
the town will just disappear."

Shoichiro Sakamoto, 69, has an
unusual job: hunting wild boars
encroaching on residential areas in
nearby Tomioka. His 13-man squad
catches the animals in a trap before
finishing them off with air rifles.
"Wild boars in this town are not scared
of people these days," he said. "They
stare squarely at us as if saying, 'What
in the world are you doing?' It's like
our town has fallen under wild boars'
control."
Some former Namie residents say the
evacuation orders should remain until
radiation levels recede and the
dismantling of the ruined nuclear plant
has advanced.March 19, 2017 vinhbinh2010, lantran 163

But it is now or never for his town,
Mayor Baba believes.
"Six long years have passed. If the
evacuation is prolonged further, people's
hearts will snap," he said. "The town
could go completely out of existence."
