In preparation for the Tokyo Olympics, which are less than a year old, the Abe administration has been promoting the safety of the Fukushima region, where the nuclear accident occurred. Some villagers who had restricted their residences and opened roads and left to other areas are returning, and it was really safe.

Route 114 between Fukushima City and Namie Town near the nuclear power plant.

It was a place where a vehicle was allowed to get a permit after the nuclear accident due to the danger of radiation.

However, it was completely open recently when the Japanese government began promoting the Olympics. High fences are built on both sides of the road to prevent people from entering.

There is even a notice that you should not stop for a long time because it is a difficult area for people to return.

Radiation meters are located near this road where traffic is available.

If you look at it, it shows 3.692μSv per hour and people can't live because of the very high numbers.

Within 20 km of the nuclear power plant, the figure is more than 30 times the average radiation dose in downtown Seoul.

After all, people are inhabited areas, and they have allowed traffic beforehand.

Evacuation instructions are also released one after another.

The Japanese government is now saying that radiation levels are low, allowing residence where the dose is less than 20μSv.

The Okuma area, which is only 8 km south of the No. 1 nuclear power plant, recently held a grand opening ceremony.

Abe also attended the event, emphasizing the safety of Fukushima and the Olympics.

But the fear of the locals still remains.

[Hida Shinshu / Town Residents: I'm afraid. Many children do not come back. I think the government is trying to make it somehow until the Olympics, and then do it afterwards.]

The Japanese government's 20μSv resident return standard is as much as 20 times the annual public dose that was maintained before the Fukushima accident.

As a result, the return rate of residents in the Okuma region is less than 1%.

[Kawata Matsumi / Okuma Area Representative: (People who have been evacuated) I'm being bullied because I don't have friends in each area and there's no one to depend on. Older people have lived there and want to come back before they die. ]

The Japanese government, which is actually making people live in Fukushima, which is virtually uninhabited, continues to carry out dangerous publicity to succeed the Olympics.
