The Japanese government has been steadily opening up the areas under Fukushima prefecture allowing former residents to return. Meanwhile, some 30,000 people are still displaced 11 years after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. The Fukushima nuclear disaster, known as the world’s second-worst disaster after Chernobyl, saw nearly 18,500 casualties caused by the earthquake and the accompanying tsunami. More than 160,000 people had to be evacuated from the town due to radiation fears following the meltdown of the nuclear reactors.
