fukushima order lifted
Japan will lift an exclusion order on an area around the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant. allowing some residents to return to live for the first time since the disaster officials said yesterday.
The formal lifting of the evacuation order will come on April. affecting around 300 people whose homes are in part of Tamura city, around 20km west of the wreaked plant, Cabinet Office Official said. Over the next two years, up to 30,000 people will be allowed to return to their homes in the original exclusion zone, thrown up in a bid to protect people from the harmful effects of leaking radiation, he added.
