(Koriyama) is close, but I did not know how this place was devastated until now. what we really wanted is to focus the discussion on what the inhabitants express right now and have to face in the future. The main problem right now is 80,000 people are still evacuated, they live in crappy houses or apartments that are not convenient for them. Some want to go back. Some don't. We want to talk about the social issues that the crisis has caused, not the crisis itself.

From year to year, their point of view changes. I would say after the first year, they really believed in the decontamination and they believed it would reopen sooner, those who are old aren't afraid of the radiation any longer, but the problem now is that the city has stayed empty for five years and they start rebuilding (their lives) somewhere else. They know their grandchildren won't come to visit them if they move back.
