For the transportation of removed soil into the interim storage facility, about the total of
298,000㎥ was transferred from March, 2015 when the transportation started to late May,
2017, and transportation for 19 municipalities out of intended 52 has been completed. In
terms of transportation in FY 2017, we are planning to transport 500,000 ㎥ which is also
3 folds of the previous year from 33 municipalities while prioritizing to carry out removed
soil stored in school yards. Regarding the facility development, groundbreaking of
construction for the first full-fledged facilities, "reception and classification facility" and"soil storage facility" took place in Okuma Town and Futaba Town in November, 2016, andthey will start reception and storage this autumn.
In order to continue to ensure safety and security, the prefectural government
continues to confirm the situation of transportation and facility based on the safety
agreement concluded between the national government, the prefectural government,

For the prevention of distributing foods containing radioactive materials over the safety standard level, we
are decontaminating farmland and intensifying the screening system to confirm the safety.
Particularly, rice which is a staple food, has to go through radiation monitoring. All rice bags produced in
the whole prefecture and shipped must be monitored before the shipment.

excellent prize by lot.

Industrial promotion and creation of employment
After the disaster the number of offices has shown a declining trend. According to the industrial
production index which indicates the production situation for the manufacturing industry, levels have
not yet recovered to pre-disaster conditions. There have also been employment mismatches occurring,depending on the type of occupation.
For the sustainable development of Fukushima industries, the prefecture will provide proactive
support for the continuation and resumption of small and medium sized companies, which are the coreof the regional economy. In addition, there are also efforts in place to secure employment
opportunities, including attracting business investment within the prefecture.

◆ IP index transited around 90 from 2011 to 2016 based on the index of 100
for 2010, not showing the recovery to the pre-disaster level. Particularly,
slowdown is apparent in the transportation machinery industry, electronics
parts, device, machinery industry.

◆ Fukushima business investment subsidy for revitalization of industries
We support companies that set up new factory or additional factory inside the prefecture.
Those activate business and create jobs.

Fukushima has a target to produce enoughrenewable energy to supply 100% of theenergy demand in the prefecture by 2040.
This will be achieved by increasing renewableenergy adoption, and building hubs throughthe clustering and development of relevant
industries.

The prefecture is engaging in cooperation withoverseas partners to promote renewableenergy in Fukushima. In particular, Fukushima
Prefecture joined in a memorandum of
understanding with North Rhine-Westphalia,
Germany (NRW) in 2014 to promote businessexchange. Building upon that, the prefecture
concluded a memorandum of understanding tofurther deepen cooperation in the renewableenergy field with the NRW Environmental
Minister in January 2017, agreeing tostrengthen the support systems for companies
in Fukushima and NRW.
In addition, a meeting was held with state
officials, including NRW Governor, tostrengthen cooperation and deepen exchange
between Fukushima and NRW going forward.
In the future, we hope to take advantage ofthis network to provide strong support forcompanies in Fukushima as they expand sales
channels in Germany, throughout Europe, andaround the world.
