(Note: NPP means "nuclear power plant", that is, the Fukushima Daiichi complex)

As you can see, much of the Futaba area is still seeing radiation levels that are waaaaaaay above normal. For example, at a measuring point in Okuma Town in Futaba County (about 1.5 miles west of the NPP), there was a recent reading of 27.6 microsieverts per hour. For comparison, a normal reading for that area should be around 0.05 to 0.10 microsieverts per hour-- so the ambient radiation is anywhere from 270 to well over 500 times normal levels.
Also, I can't understand why the Japanese government would still be housing those evacuees in an abandoned school in Tokyo, when there are literally hundreds of unoccupied government-owned residences in the Tsukuba area (see photos below for some examples). The evacuees could certainly be using some of that empty space which would also provide them with a bit of privacy and enable them to live a bit closer to their home area.
