The town of Namie, half of which is inside the 20km “no-go” zone around F. Daiichi, will soon be re-zoned... Japan's government agencies are debating whether or not to build new coal-fired plants... The Asahi Shimbun accuses Tepco lying last week for telling Toshimitsu Motegi of the NAIIC that the inside of F. Daiichi unit #1 was too dark for a visual inspection in 2012... 900,000 pages of notes and other documents created by the Tokyo government about the Fukushima accident will be digitalized and available on-line in about 2 years.
