Naraha Town Assembly demands more decontamination
A town assembly near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has called for more decontamination work before evacuees are allowed to return.
10 members from the town assembly including the chairman, Motoi Aoki, visited the Environment Ministry on Thursday. The delegation handed a written demand to Senior Vice Minister Shinji Inoue.
The demand urges the central government to reduce annual radiation exposure to below one millisievert before residents return home.
It says the government should be responsible for decontaminating and cleaning inside houses and buildings. It also calls for the thorough decontamination of the bottom of the town's Kido Dam.
Inoue reportedly told the delegation that the ministry will respond to the requests in a sincere manner with other relevant government offices.

Former Fukushima Daiichi worker files damages suit
A former worker at the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant is demanding compensation from the operator Tokyo Electric Power Company and others. He says he was exposed to radiation just after the March 11th 2011 accident.
A 48-year-old resident of Iwaki City filed a lawsuit with the local branch of the Fukushima District Court on Wednesday. He is seeking around 11 million yen, or about 108,900 dollars in damages.
The man was employed by a TEPCO subcontractor. On March 24th, 2011, he says he was engaged in work to connect power cables in the turbine building basement of the Number 3 reactor.
The former worker says there were puddles of contaminated water in the basement, and radiation in the air measured 400 millisieverts per hour. The man says he received a dose of more than 20 millisieverts within about 90 minutes.

NRA: Plant report needs revisions on 42 items
Japan's nuclear regulator has asked Kyushu Electric Power Company to revise a report on a nuclear power plant. The key document is needed for safety screening that will decide if the idle plant can be restarted.
The Nuclear Regulation Authority screened the utility's report on its Sendai plant in southwestern Japan on Thursday. It identified 42 cases of insufficient data.
The utility applied last July for the screening of the plant's 2 reactors. The firm resubmitted the 7,200-page document late last month in response to NRA instructions.
In Thursday's session, NRA officials noted that the report fails to mention how the plant's operator would prevent a fire from an airplane crash.
The officials also said the report must specify ways to estimate hydrogen density in order to prevent an explosion. It must also detail procedures to cope with certain emergencies.
The NRA is expected to draw up a safety assessment by the end of May, and could complete the screening by the end of June.
But the request for revisions could delay the process, depending on how the utility responds.
Kyushu Electric may not be able to put the plant back online before summer, as it also must also undergo inspections of its facilities and operations.
