Japan's Abe government applied 20 times higher radiation safe limit than other area to the suffered area,

declared "Safe",discontinue assistance,and have forced refugees to return to Fukushima.

This farce continues, there is no way in these people's life time it will ever be "Safe" to return. After 7 years I would imagin that new lives are made. The people still living in the temporary housing waiting to go home need more assistance to move on, at TEPCOS, our expense, they are fellow citizens and deserve support. It's over, for that area. Decontamination of a third or two thirds of a city is just not going to work...never would. After 7 years this stupidity has to stop, pay them a substantial amount. wait 1,000 years before thinking about anyone returning. Call it LDP TEPCO Prefecture.

Folks as I predicted shortly after 3/11 we are now right in the middle of the man made disaster not only in Fukushima but many other towns up & down the coast.

The way things have been handled is a major tragedy, making people wait, starting a bunch of infrastructure re-builds where minimal(mostly elderly) people will return & 1000s still in temporary homes, what damned mess.

The amount of good $$ after bad is going to be off the charts, building ghost towns, common sense is desperately needed but precious little seen so far, the disaster continues......

whose brother-in-law died last year due to "stress and sickness" related to the prolonged evacuation

How do we know that, just take his word for it?
