60% of municipalities lack nuclear evacuation plan

Sixty percent of Japanese municipalities located within 30 kilometers of a nuclear power plant have yet to draw up evacuation plans in case of a nuclear accident.
The figure was reported on Friday at a meeting of a government panel on nuclear disaster preparedness.
Officials said 82 out of the 135 municipalities had not finished compiling evacuation plans as of December 2nd.
Many municipalities face difficulties finding evacuation centers outside their boundaries and securing the means to evacuate elderly people from hospitals and care facilities.
The government plans to help local authorities finish the planning work by using regional consultative councils. Such bodies consist of officials from government ministries and agencies related to disaster response.
The Fukushima nuclear meltdown accident in 2011 prompted the government to ask the municipalities to draw up evacuation plans.
