Letter from a Fukushima Family




The following is an excerpt of a letter from a mother who, in July 2011, moved from Shirakawa city, Fukushima (80km south east from Fukushima NPP)) to Hokkaido with her 14 year old daughter and her 12 year old son.

  What made me decide to move out of Fukushima was my 12 year old son’s anxious look, when, in May 2011, he had continuous heavy nose bleeding.  He asked me, “Are we okay to stay here?” Since that moment, it no longer mattered to me whether the nosebleed really was due to radiation or not – but  it was just wrong to live in a place where children felt unsafe.
