| Residents Begin Return to Fukushima |
| 2012-04-05 |
 People are being allowed into areas around Fukushima with ambient radiation levels of 20mSv or less without protective gear. This is allowing cleanup, repairs, and operation of business concerns in the area. At present, people are not allowed to stay overnight.The main contaminant is Cesium-137 which is water soluble so the contamination levels should continue falling with every passing rainstorm. |

| #2 Just out of idle curiosity, what is there to return to? I doubt the land will be farmable in our lifetime (salt water tends to lower the crop yield, I understand). What else can they use it for? |
