More than 6,400 residents of Itate Village, Fukushima Prefecture, left the village after the nuclear accident.

Hasegawa came back in seven years, but about 5,000 people finally gave up.

The radiation dose set by the Japanese government as a criterion for risk is 0.23 µ㏜ per hour. This is about 10 times.

In addition to Itate Village where the torch of Tokyo Olympics passes, radiation doses exceeded the standards at 45 locations near Fukushima Chuo Station where crowds gather.

Greenpeace says many people have confirmed that radiation levels have risen again, especially after decontamination after Hurricane Hurricane last year.

Nuclear experts explain that unless they stay for a long time, their impact on the human body is limited.

However, many point out that the Japanese government has failed to meet even the radiation safety standards set forth by them.
