They are giving up returning as radiation levels remain high more than 3 years after the nuclear accident. The evacuees are from the Nogami No.1 administrative district of Okuma Town. The area lies about 8 kilometers west of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The evacuees say they have no choice but to give up returning to the town as they cannot see any prospect of restoring infrastructure due to high radiation levels. They claim their houses and farmland are ruined. They add they are concerned about the safety of an intermediate storage facility for nuclear waste planned to be built in the town. The evacuees say compensation from the plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, and other financial aid they have been receiving is not enough to rebuild their lives. They asked the Okuma government to request more state compensation for evacuees who have given up returning home, rather than for decontamination. They also called on the municipal government to present support measures for them. The head of the district, Jin Kowata, says the town government should work not only for evacuees hoping to return home but also for those giving up the idea. As of October of last year, 67 percent of the Okuma evacuees who answered a government questionnaire said they did not wish to return home under current conditions.
