Evacuation begins in Fukushima

Evacuation of some people who live outside the 20 kilometer radius from the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has begun.

Families with babies and children up to kindergarten age and pregnant women are the first of the 7,700 residents of two towns to evacuate.

Municipal officials say they have secured temporary housing for almost all of the residents who want it.

Government compiles timetable for dealing with Fukushima accident, evacuees
www.asahi.com...

The government is compiling a schedule of measures to deal with the accident at the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant to provide evacuees as well as the international community a better idea of what to expect.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan is scheduled to attend the Group of Eight summit later this month and is expected to explain what the government is planning to do to stabilize the situation at the Fukushima plant, as well as in rebuilding areas struck by the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Some families cannot move together to designated temporary housing or cannot decide on the place to go as they would be far from work or school.

are you serious..... who cares about work or school it's called to survive ..... people so connected to the machine hey would sacrifice life and health ..JUST GET OUT ...DUMB ASSES !!!!!!!!!

NOW??? This should have been done AGES ago!

Maybe, their government should have moved into that area and let everyone else go! But no, the government was far far away while civilians suffered!

The Japanese love to work! Not even a nuclear disaster can slow them down!

This is for you Japan,

It's not an issue until you are glowing in the dark

And the Japanese would know all too well what happens with long term effects of radiation, I would think?

yeah that's what the Japanese need music from the early 80's. Sorry about the thousands of people who died and the radiation that will deform your children and slowly kill you but when I'm down this always cheers me up nice idea though

Too little, too late.

They've already spent 2 months bioaccumulating internal contamination.

Too little, too late.
