Fukushima Prefecture disaster situation – Evacuation
The number of evacuees peaked in May 2012 at 164,865 and has since decreased, but as of March 2018
roughly 50 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.

◆Approved plans for the Reconstruction andRevitalization of the Special Zone
Following the revision of the Act for Special Measures for the
Reconstruction and Revitalization of Fukushima (May, 2017), the national
government was able to designate special zones for reconstruction andrevitalization(SZRR).
Plans by the following municipalities were recognized by the national
government in the Plans for Reconstruction and Revitalization for Special
Zones which stipulated SZRR.

Futaba Town(Sep 15 2017), Okuma Town(Nov 10 2017)

◆Landfill disposal of designated waste

Interim Storage Facility

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 February, 2018, 7,842 bags have been disposedof. 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.

started to late February, 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 bedisposed of from 31 prefectural municipalities. This is 3
times the amount disposed of in the previous financial
year. Priority will continue to be made for disposing ofwaste which has been stored at schools.
Development of facilities is progressing in line with
program objectives. The soil storage facility in Okuma town
began operation on October 28, 2017 and construction is
expected to begin from September 2017 at 5 other sites
which will handle the expected transport volumes for 2018.
The prefectural government inspects the sites andconducts environmental monitoring in order to ensure

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.

Fishermen in Fukushima Prefecture were forced to place a ban on coastal and trawl fishing;
however the safety of certain species of fish has been confirmed based on over 50,000 items
tested during monitoring inspections. Since April, 2017, the scope of trial fishing has been
extended to all species of fish and shellfish except fish species under shipment ban (10 species).

On February 18, 2018 the first of a series ofcharter flights began operating between
Fukushima Airport and Vietnam.
Approximately 2,000 people are expected tovisit the prefecture by April via this newcharter line. This deal is thanks to thegovernor's campaigning of the prefecture backin August of 2017. The prefecture is continuing
to work on increasing international charter
flights to the prefecture.

Industrial promotion and creation of employment
In 2016 shipment values for industries related to chemicals and communications equipment dropped.
This was coupled with an overall drop since 2015. However, there has been a pattern since 2012 ofincreasing shipment values. When the entire prefectures shipments are taken into account, shipments
have mostly recovered to pre-disaster levels.
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 10% 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.

Development of hubs for research & development, and Industrial creation Ⅰ
For the revitalization and recovery of Fukushima, it is necessary not just to restore things to how they
were before the disaster, but create new, leading enterprises. Revitalization of the prefecture iscurrently being propelled by the development of hubs for R&D and industrial creation in a wide
variety of fields.
Renewable energy promotion
Target for renewableenergy introduction

Energy demand in
the prefecture

28.2%

Achievement
rate in FY 2016

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
renewable energy introduction, andbuilding hubs through the clustering anddevelopment of relevant industries.

Strengthen ties with NRW, Germany
As part of the promotion of renewable energy and medical industry fields in theprefecture, we are promoting collaborations with overseas countries. We
concluded a memorandum of understanding with the State of Nordrhein
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
Fukushima Prefecture and NRW as well as
deepening exchange between bothregions. By utilizing the robust networkwith NRW, we will wholeheartedly support
efforts by local companies for expanding
August 2017, signing with Deputy Minister,market opportunities in Europe, Germany
Christoph Dammermann, Ministry of Economic
Affairs, German State of NRW
and throughout the world.
