Japan says no plan to expand evacuation zone around nuclear plant
The Japanese government said Thursday that it had no immediate plans to expand a 20-kilometre evacuation zone around a damaged nuclear power station that is leaking radiation, dpa reported.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said Tokyo would instead reinforce radiation monitoring of soil after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) suggested overnight that the country consider evacuating Iitate village, about 40 kilometres from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, after the agency found amounts of radioactive iodine in the soil there that exceeded its health limits.
The village is not only outside the evacuation zone around the plant, which was crippled by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, but it is also beyond the 30-kilometre zone in which people have been advised to stay indoors.
"The first assessment indicates that one of the IAEA operational criteria for evacuation is exceeded," senior IAEA official Denis Flory told reporters.
IAEA experts found radioactivity from iodine-131 at 25 megabecquerel per square metre of soil in Iitate, more than double the agency's evacuation threshold of 10 megabecquerel, an IAEA source said.
It was the highest level measured among nine communities located 25 to 60 kilometres away from the reactors, which are located 250 kilometres north-east of Tokyo.
"They should really think about evacuating," the source said.
