      Fukushima nuclear leakage process
      1. The cut-corners levees caused seawater to rush into the nuclear power plant and destroyed many facilities.
      2. Nuclear power plants have a lot of problems with spare equipment because of saving money, and the lack of emergency plan training for employees to save money is a direct tragedy.
      3: When the Japanese fire brigade arrived, it was found that the standby equipment was damaged by the tsunami and could not be rescued.
      4: Dongdian concealed the news, and the US and Japanese troops began to March into Fukushima rescue
      5: In order to save money, Dongdian will not let seawater enter the nuclear power plant to cool down, because seawater corrosion will directly scrap the nuclear power plant, and finally the nuclear power plant will explode due to excessive pressure such as temperature
      6: The Japanese troops gave up the people and fled for their lives. The Japanese people were not as fast as the Self-Defense Forces. The US aircraft carrier also withdrew (but it was also radiated. Many people in the US Navy got cancer and went to court in Japan). Only the Japanese fire brigade rushed to rescue.
      7: The Self-Defense Forces began to come back to rescue, but deserters escaped halfway and so on
      8: Dongdian has been concealing the news and specific situation of the nuclear leak, and apologized after being beaten by the International Atomic Energy Agency
      9: After Dongdian's apology, it continued to conceal the news and was exposed again. Then Dongdian continued to apologize and began to cycle this process
      10: Japan deliberately discharged polluted seawater into the sea (since 311, nuclear wastewater has been leaked every month.

    1:15 I visited that town in October 2018. It's a bit of an island surrounded by a perfectly habitable area due to the cleanup effort. The area overlooking the plant (retirement village) is still pretty radioactive but most other areas are basically at background levels. Most towns in the area have been opened up for people to move back in, but most haven't simply because over the past 7 years they've built lives elsewhere.
    The power plant itself is still highly radioactive and will take decades to clean up, but the Japanese have done a remarkable job of cleaning up everything around it. Don't believe the hype. It's nowhere near as bad as it looks in this documentary.
    The best example that it's basically safe? The reporter is walking around without a respirator, and tourists are let in every day to tour the area.

      In 20 or 30 years, there will be a massive governmental program to "promote the healing of the local area".
      Mandatory relocations, total "urban renewal" projects (read: bulldoze the entire area and seal it under lead lined concrete). Of course, there will be unscrupulous people "taking advantage" of some residents (read: silent assassinations of those that don't just "disappear" willingly)

    It's the fear and public discrimination that prevents the original residents from coming back.

What's also important is that there don't seem many stores or job opportunities yet.

      No, they pumped all water from inside the basement into storage tanks, most of it isn't even radioactive but its better to be safe than sorry, after removing any contamination from the water it will be diluted and discharged into the ocean, its the best thing to do, the ocean is already slightly radioactive since the earth itself is slightly radioactive and the ocean covers 70% of the earth and the deepest points on the planet are all in the ocean.
