• Resumen

  • Namie is a ghost town, its backstreets deserted, its shops shuttered. Weeds push through the cracks between paving stones, and black bags of radioactive soil waiting for disposal are piled up everywhere. The town was hurriedly evacuated six years ago after an earthquake and tsunami triggered a meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station a few kilometers away. Here, Pearce examines whether the town is ready for the return of its population.
