Of the "difficult-to-return areas" in Fukushima Prefecture due to the nuclear accident, the national government has a strong intention from the local government, and on the premise that there is no daily life for the residents, the evacuation order can be canceled without decontamination. I decided to introduce a mechanism.
In Fukushima Prefecture, seven local governments still have "difficult-to-return areas" where access is severely restricted.
The national government has designated the area where the evacuation order is to be lifted as soon as possible among the "difficult-to-return areas" as the "specified reconstruction and regeneration base area", and is proceeding with decontamination with the goal of lifting it by 2023. a place that is not specified in the area "does not stand the prospect of release.
On the 25th, the National Nuclear Emergency Response Headquarters said that the decontamination work has been sufficiently advanced on the premise that the local government has a strong intention and that the daily life of the residents is not expected. Introduced a mechanism that allows evacuation orders to be canceled without decontamination by changing some of the requirements for canceling evacuation orders, such as "things", and incorporating the requirement that "necessary environment maintenance is being implemented". I decided to do it.
Among the municipalities where it is difficult to return, Iitate Village is planning to develop a park for reconstruction in a part of the village, and requested a mechanism to cancel the evacuation order without complete decontamination.
On the other hand, local governments other than Iitate Village are requesting the cancellation of evacuation orders on the premise of decontamination.
