Our reporter goes to Fukushima, Japan to discuss safety issues. By the way, I confirmed a new fact that was not known so far. I met a Japanese worker who is currently working at the nuclear power plant in question, and exposed that the Japanese government is doing some sort of manipulation to lower radiation levels.

Listen to news from Kwan-jin Kim in Fukushima.

Radiation measuring machines are installed throughout the streets of Fukushima Prefecture.

It measures the amount of ambient radiation in real time and informs pedestrians and vehicle drivers.

The accumulated value from this device is the basis for the Japanese government's release of 'district return zone'.

Mr. A, who currently works at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, insisted that the meter is being managed.

The trick is to focus decontamination around the device so that the radiation dose is low.

[M / Fukushima nuclear power plant worker: It is common to clean only the area around posts to reduce radiation dose.]

Lower managed figures serve as the primary basis for promoting local safety.

[A / Fukushima nuclear worker: 'Radioactivity is fine now', 'Look at Fukushima village, it's clean now', 'people are coming back'. Without saying necessary information… .]

Work information in nuclear plants is not shared properly.

[A / Fukushima nuclear power worker: I started dividing the work in half to make it safe because the pillars supporting the nuclear power plant are cracked and fall if left as it is. There is no information on construction.]

As the labor shortages intensified, the Japanese government began to introduce foreign workers, who are exposed to safety accidents due to lack of communication ability.

[Hida Shinshu / Civic Activist / Nearby Nuclear Residents: We have not come back to normal. Fukushima people don't know anything about nuclear power. Japanese media is not reporting anything.]

Last year, the United Nations Human Rights Council warned of the dangers of workers exposed to nuclear reactors, but the Japanese government has repeatedly argued that it has no basis.
