Great Eastern Japan Earthquake: One month later
Monday will be one month since the earthquake and tsunami ravaged northeastern Japan. Recovery and rebuilding efforts are underway. However, those sorts of activities are still months away, at best, around the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Work there is still concentrated with the basic task of containing the leak of radiation. All the while, evacuees from around the facility continue living in shelters and relocation centers, unable to get started on restoring their own community.
With the release of radiation continuing, the government has begun considering revising evacuation guidelines to reflect the annual amount received rather than exposure over a few days.
We'll examine the latest information on the scale of damage and evidence of how reconstruction is proceeding.
Guest:
Shunichi Yamashita (Nagasaki University Professor and Advisor to Fukushima Prefecture on Radiation Health Risk Management)
Yoshiteru Murosaki (Kwansei Gakuin University Professor)
