The Japanese government has decided to allow business operations in designated no-entry zones near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The zones were established following the 2011 nuclear accident.
Businesses essential for rebuilding infrastructure and other post-disaster reconstruction will be allowed to operate in the areas on certain conditions.
Some business activities are currently restricted because of high radiation levels in evacuation zones.
The government completed a review of the existing guidelines on Friday. Officials took into consideration the needs of residents and decontamination work that has lowered radiation levels.
Under the revised guidelines, businesses will be allowed to operate in the no-entry zones if they are certified as indispensable for building infrastructure or waste disposal.
In restricted residential zones, growing and distribution of farm produce will be allowed, except for rice, if authorized by the national government and local municipalities.
Officials of the government's task force say they hope to speed up reconstruction efforts following the revision of the guidelines.
