Tomioka ‘temporary storage’:

Workers move big black plastic bags containing radiated soil, leaves and debris from the decontamination operation at a temporary storage site in Tomioka town, Fukushima prefecture, near Tokyo Electric Power Co’s (TEPCO) tsunami-crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant February 23, 2015. Many residents of Okuma, a village near the stricken Fukushima Daiichi plant, are angry about government plans to dump some 30 million tons of radioactive debris raked up after the March 2011 nuclear disaster in a sprawling waste complex on their doorstep. Few believe Tokyo’s assurances that the site will be cleaned up and shut down after 30 years. In the four years since the disaster, Japan has allocated over $15 billion to lower radiation levels around the plant. Every day, teams of workers blast roads with water, scrub down houses, cut branches and scrape contaminated soil off farmland. That radiated trash now sits in plastic sacks across the region, piling up in abandoned rice paddies, parking lots and even residents’ backyards. REUTERS/Toru Hanai

A row of compact trailers fill a parking lot that has been turned into the Sasaya Higashi Housing District, in Fukushima, Japan. After the disaster evacuees were placed in temporary housing areas until they can find permanent housing or when they’re allowed to return home. Evacuees living in these temporary housing districts have experienced health issues and stress-related problems as they try to cope with their life after the disaster.
