Inside report from Fukushima nuclear reactor evacuation zone

Fukushima, Japan - The Japanese government has issued the evacuation order on March 12 for the residents living within the 20 kilometer radius of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Since then, residents have left their homes, and the "no man land" has been out of touch with the rest of the world.

A Japanese journalist, Tetsuo Jimbo, ventured through the evacuation zone last Sunday, and filed the following video report.

He says that, inside the evacuation zone, homes,building, roads and bridges, which were torn down by Tsunami, are left completely untouched, and the herd of cattle and pet dogs, left behind by the owners, wonders around the town while the radiation level remains far beyond legal limits.

You know what this reminds me of--- those movies where all the people have disappeared. Very surreal.

And they left all those animal behind. ??

Please. They are just animals.

Fukushima: It's much worse than you think

Scientific experts believe Japan's nuclear disaster to be far worse than governments are revealing to the public.

c'mon, Bean - Have a heart !

While i haven't follwed this as closely as I'd like to , I'm far more concerned about the health of the marine ecosysytems than I am about terrestrial species. Japan relies heavily on those sea critters and this has the potential to have substantial negative impacts for a long, long time.

With the fish glowing it will be easier to sight fish and catch more.

God, its bad. I had no idea it was that bad.

Yes.
