Fukushima Prefecture disaster situation – Evacuation
The number of evacuees peaked in May 2012 at 164,865 and has since decreased, but as of July 2018
roughly 45 thousand people are still under evacuation. Most of the evacuation orders issued to theevacuation-designated zones (excluding the Difficult-to-Return zones) have been lifted. Additionally, theDifficult-to-Return zones have been recognized in the Plans for Reconstruction and Revitalization for Special
Zones. Accordingly, reconstruction and revitalization in the evacuation-designated zones are alreadyshowing steady progress with remediation and construction underway.

Decontamination◆The need for decontamination◆Temporary Storage Site

Radiation doses decrease naturally overtime and from the effects of natural phenomena, such as windand rainfall. However this process can take a long time. Therefore, the Prefectural Government began
carrying out decontamination efforts in order to lower radiation doses and reduce the impact oncommunities and on the health of residents at the earliest possible time.

◆Effects of decontamination

When averages of air radiation dose rates were compared for before and after decontamination workin the Intensive Contamination Survey Area carried out by local municipalities, it was found thatradiation levels were reduced by 42% in residential areas, by 55% at schools and parks and by 21% in
forests. This shows the effectiveness of lowering radiation levels through environmental
decontamination work.

4Interim Storage Facility◆Landfill disposal of designated waste
Designated waste within the prefecture is being disposed of at thenationally designated landfill facility in Tomioka town. Designated waste
includes rubble and other debris from regions where action has beentaken for removal of contaminated waste, as well as specified waste
which is 100,000 Bq/kg or lower.
Transportation of designated waste to landfill started from November
2017, and as of the end of May 2018, 21,154 bags have been disposed of.
The prefectural government inspects the sites and conducts
environmental monitoring in order to ensure safety and security. These
activities are based on the safety agreement between the national
government, the prefectural government, Tomioka and Naraha Town. The
results of the environmental monitoring are released on the internet.

〇 Situation of receiving of removed soil and development of facilities

For the transportation of removed soil into the interim storage facility, about the total of
886,000㎥ was transferred from March, 2015 when the transportation started to late May,
2018, and transportation for 21 municipalities out of intended 52 has been completed.
In FY2018 it is planned that 1.8 million ㎥ of waste will be disposed of from 31 prefecturalmunicipalities. This is 3 times the amount disposed of in the previous
financial year.
Transportationof removed soil
Concerning the acquisition of land for the Interim Storage Facility(ISF) approximately 950ha (about 59% of total land for the project)
has been acquired as of the end of June, 2018 and the constructionof the facility is underway.
The prefectural government inspects the sites and conducts
environmental monitoring in order to ensure safety and security.
These activities are based on the safety agreement between thenational government, the prefectural government, Tomioka andNaraha Town. The results of the environmental monitoring are

Food safety and security efforts
In order to prevent distribution of food products containing radioactive substances exceeding the safety
standard set by the government, farms are being decontaminated. Alongside this, the inspection system isbeing strengthened to ensure food safety. In particular all bags containing locally produced rice are required
to undergo inspection before shipping.
In order to ensure the safe distribution of marine products obtained through trial fishing operations, theprefectures offers guidance to fishery cooperatives in regards to inspection technology, and are working withproducers and distributors to establish an efficient inspection system.

Industrial promotion and creation of employment
The total shipment value for manufacturing products in 2016 dropped from the previous year due to a
decline in shipment amount declined from industries including chemical industries and information
telecommunication machinery manufacturers. Nevertheless, the level of shipment in all industries in
the prefecture has recovered to the pre-disaster level.
In order to continue development of local industries, we will continue to support the operation andresumption of small to medium-sized businesses which form the core of regional economies, as well as
secure employment opportunities through the promotion of company investment into the prefecture.

Changes in the shipment value of products (※)
Nationally, the shipment value recovered to levels exceeding
the pre-disaster value observed in 2010. In 2014 Fukushima
Prefecture had almost recovered to the pre-disaster level, andthen slightly declined in 2015 compared to the previous year.
However, in spite of that, an increasing trend is ongoing.
On the other hand, since 2011 the shipment value in Futaba
County where residents were forced to evacuate due to the
nuclear power accident has remained down around 20% of predisaster level. We think it is necessary for us to further promote
revitalization in Futaba County and other evacuation-ordered
areas as well as the coastal area.

Westfalen, Germany in the fields of renewable energy and medicine in 2014,
and since then we have been promoting
business exchanges. We renewed the MOU
in January, 2017 for cooperation of therenewable energy industries, and in August,2017 for cooperation of the medical
industries. As part of this an agreement wasmade to strengthen the support system forcompanies in both regions. When thegovernor visited Germany in January 2017,
January 2017, MOU renewed
he met with influential figures of the state
government including the prime ministerof NRW. They both committed to further
strengthening cooperation between
