Nuclear disaster-hit village reclassified into 3 areas

IITATE, Japan - Masato Takahashi, 75, who was born and brought up in the Nagadoro district of Iitate village, Fukushima Prefecture, grips a fence set up on a road leading to the district on July 16, 2012, before the government locks fences on roads leading to the district at midnight. "I feel like I am being locked up in prison even though I didn't do anything bad," he said. The village, nearly all of whose residents have been evacuated since the March 2011 nuclear accident, was reclassified July 17 into three areas with varying levels of accessibility. Due to the high level of radiation exposure, the Nagadoro district was classified as "an area difficult to return to" for a long period of time.
