Japan reopened a small part of the 12-mile evacuation zone around the destroyed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant on Tuesday, allowing residents to return to live in their homes for the first time since the accident three years ago. It is unclear how many of Tamura’s residents will now go back. Earlier surveys of evacuees found that fewer than half wanted to return because of fears of radiation and the mishap-plagued cleanup at the nearby nuclear plant. Some experts say the most highly radioactive areas to the northwest of the plant may be unlivable for generations.
