Investigation on Radioactive Contamination in Japan (Video)

Greenpeace monitors radioactive contamination in Iitate district, Japan, and documents the ongoing decontamination work. The area is still contaminated since the March 2011 explosions at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant.
Greenpeace Japan's investigation revealed that the radioactive contamination in the forests and land of Iitate district in Fukushima prefecture is so widespread and at such a high level that it will be impossible for people to safely return to their homes. The findings follow the Abe Government’s announcement on 12th June 2015 to lift evacuation orders by March 2017 and terminate compensation by 2018, which effectively forces victims back into heavily contaminated areas.
