Fukushima Today Environmental Radiation and the Food Safety

It has been six years since the earthquake. Fukushima has made steady progress.
Environmental radiation in most regions throughout the prefecture has fallen to levels equivalent
to those outside the prefecture or main cities around the world.
We will report on the Fukushima of today, by focusing on the status of monitoring, environmental radiation
and initiatives to ensure food safety.
Moreover, we will take a look at "Comutan Fukushima," a facility that familiarizes people to radiation
and environmental problems, and promotes greater awareness for environmental restoration and creation
in response to concerns and doubts about the environment in Fukushima expressed by a variety of people.
