Part 1: Seven months since the disaster: http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/11_09.html
It's been seven months since the March 11th earthquake and tsunami.
In the hardest hit prefectures of Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima, 2,231 people are still living in 205 shelters, but more and more people are moving into temporary housings.
Police say the death toll as of October 7th stood at 15,761.

Part 2: All shelters closing in hard-hit Ishinomaki: http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/10_22.html
Officials in the city of Ishinomaki in Miyagi Prefecture are closing the last remaining shelters for survivors of the March 11th earthquake and tsunami. Residents and volunteers have renewed their vow to rebuild their community.
About 50 of them gathered on Monday at one of the last remaining evacuation centers. All shelters will be closed on Tuesday because city authorities have finished building temporary housing units.
The survivors presented letters of gratitude and flowers to the volunteers who helped run the shelter. Some of them performed a traditional lion dance.
They also shared memories of the 7 months they spent at the evacuation center.
One man in his 60s said he will be sad to be separated from other survivors because they supported each other. He said he will hold onto the memory of the shelter and move forward. He also vowed to make a fresh start and return to where he used to live.
Ishinomaki is one of the areas in Japan's northeast that was hit hardest by the earthquake and tsunami. About 50,000 people were staying at the city's 250 evacuation centers at one point.

Part 3: Onagawa residents move into temporary housing: http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/11_05.html
Residents in the disaster-hit Onagawa Town in Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan, began moving into new temporary housing on Monday.
About 220 Onagawa residents are still living in shelters.
Architect Shigeru Ban designed 2- and 3-storey temporary houses made from shipping containers. The town built 189 new residences on a baseball field.
Onagawa is surrounded by mountains and has limited space for construction. Teiji Kobayashi from the Onagawa office in charge of the town's reconstruction said it was difficult to secure land. He also said that the multi-storey housing would attract attention and cheer up those who live there.

8/9/2011 Fukushima Update–Information Suppressed, Health Unmonitored
Source: The Paltry Sapien
Date: August 9, 2011
by: Matthew Payne
First off, it should be noted the number of meltdowns at Fukushima may be four, not three. It seems that Reactor Three experienced a second meltdown after TEPCo failed to keep the core covered ten days after the first meltdown. This is hardly simply an academic argument since if the core did meltdown twice, it is quite likely TEPCo is measuring its temperature incorrectly and thus will be unable to reach “cold shutdown” quickly.

When Japan was rocked by a massive earthquake and tsunami back in March, we told ourselves the worst was behind us.
Tens of thousands dead, an economy shattered, whole communities razed.
Surely the Japanese had suffered enough.
But all these weeks later, the crisis is far from over.
The crippled Fukushima nuclear plant is still leaking and, judging from the experience at Chernobyl, Japan's recovery won't be measured in years, but centuries.

7/26/2011 Suicide Plague: Japan swept by Fukushima depression
Source: RT News
Date: 7/26/2011
The head of the International Atomic Watchdog is visiting Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant for the first time since March's devastating earthquake and tsunami. Yukiya Amano has promised to help with the recovery effort and discussed what aid is needed at a meeting with the country's Prime Minister. As well as killing thousands, the natural disasters caused the plant's reactor cores to melt and leak dangerous amounts of radiation into the environment. But the IAEA chief says the workers at the plant ARE capable of bringing the leak under control by early next year as planned. Residents evacuated from a town close to the area held a belated memorial for the dead and missing on the irradiated no-man's land. But even many of those who survived are struggling with their own nuclear nightmare. RT's Sean Thomas explains.

5/10/2011 | Nuclear collapse looms? Fukushima No. 4 reactor 'leaning'
Source: Russia Today
Date: 5/10/2011
A small group of evacuees have briefly been allowed inside the exclusion zone around Japan's damaged Fukushima nuclear plant. For the first time, the government gave permission for short visits so people could gather belongings and check on their properties. Meanwhile, a recent map of contamination released by Japan shows high levels of radiation well outside the evacuation zone. Dr Robert Jacobs can help shed more light on this. He's a Research Associate Professor of Nuclear History and Culture at the Hiroshima Peace Institute.

Town residents allowed quick visit to collect belongings
Kyodo
FUKUSHIMA — Residents of the village of Kawauchi, designated as part of a no-go zone due to the ongoing crisis at the nearby nuclear power plant in Fukushima Prefecture, briefly returned home Tuesday to pick up personal belongings.
The evacuees were the first among residents of nine municipalities located in the legally binding no-entry zone, which covers areas within a 20-km radius of the radiation-leaking Fukushima No. 1 plant, to be allowed to visit their homes since the government designated the area off-limits on April 22.
A total of 92 evacuees, aged between 21 and 85, from 54 households made the two-hour trip and were allowed to retrieve items that could be put into plastic bags measuring 70 cm in both length and width, according to Kawauchi village officials.
The evacuees wore protective suits, masks, goggles and gloves for protection against radiation exposure and returned home on government-chartered buses.
