"FUKUSHIMA: TAKING BACK A NUCLEAR NO-MAN'S LAND"

Decontamination work crew on the main highway that links highly radioactive Iitate-mura with Fukushima City and the sea. Residents may return to Iitate-mura but, due to the radioactive fall out from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power plant, the levels of radiation make it too dangerous to inhabit full time. That said, some residents have apparently returned and refused to leave. Iitate-mura, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
