Recreation center opens for Fukushima plant workers

Recreation center opens for Fukushima plant workers

Akira Ono (L), head of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, answers reporters' questions at the plant in Fukushima Prefecture, on June 1, 2015, regarding a nine-story recreation center that opened the same day within the plant premises. The facility houses a cafeteria for workers decommissioning the plant and a space where a total of 1,200 workers can rest. About 7,000 workers work daily at the plant struck by nuclear meltdowns triggered by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. (Pool photo)(Kyodo) ==Kyodo

                    Combined photos show an area of Futaba, Fukushima Prefecture, in northeastern Japan that hosts the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on April 14, 2011 (top), shortly after the town was hit by radiation leaks due to meltdowns at the power plant in the wake of massive tsunami; and the same area nearly five years later on March 5, 2016. A slogan that had been on display in the town since 1988, reading "Nuclear power: energy for a bright future," has been dismantled while a barricade was set up to prevent entry in the town, designated a no-go area due to radiation.

                      Photo taken Feb. 15, 2016, shows a worker at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan, wearing a mask over half his face. Workers are not required to wear full-face masks in most areas of the complex as radiation levels have declined. Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator, is still working to contain a buildup of toxic water at the complex, which faced triple meltdowns almost five years ago. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
