FUKUSHIMA, Japan (Kyodo) -- A total of 118 locations in Fukushima Prefecture have been removed from the list of evacuation-recommended areas as their radiation levels have fallen below the reference value, the government said Friday.
The removal was the first since the nuclear accident occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi complex in March last year, prompting the government to recommend residents living in "hot spots" with annual radiation levels of 20 millisieverts or more to evacuate.
The 118 locations include 117 sites in Date and another one site in Kawauchi encompassing 129 households in total. Studies have confirmed the radiation levels have slipped below the 20-millisievert threshold, the government said.
