Fukushima no-entry zone

HIRONO, Japan - A clock in front of the town hall of Futaba, Fukushima Prefecture, on March 2, 2012, shows around 2:46, apparently because the devastating quake occurred at 2:46 p.m. on March 11, 2011. Part of areas in the no-entry zone within 20 kilometers from the troubled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, set due to the nuclear crisis resulting from the March 11, 2011, quake and tsunami, was shown to reporters.

      Japan marks 11 yrs since quake disaster, Fukushima crisis

      Japan on Friday marked the 11th anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated its northeastern region in 2011, with evacuation orders in more parts of areas contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear crisis expected to be lifted later this year. Residents in the severely affected prefectures of Fukushima, Iwate and Miyagi observed a moment of silence at 2:46 p.m., when the massive quake struck the region more than a decade ago and prayed for those who lost their lives. As the central government no longer hosts a memorial service, municipalities in the affected northeastern areas of the Tohoku region held theirs on a smaller scale, with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida attending a ceremony held in the city of Fukushima. "We will make utmost efforts for the reconstruction of Tohoku," Kishida said in the service attended by around 200 people. "We will promote building of a disaster-resilient nation by constantly reviewing measures to prevent and mitigate disaster damage and protect people's lives."
