epa06591615 A resident family member is walking past a temporal storage site (background) of radiation-contaminated surface soil in the Iidate village devastated by tsunami-crippled Tokyo Electric Company (TEPCO)'s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, 09 March 2018, two days before the seventh anniversary of the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami. About 600 of 6,000 villagers in Iidate returned after restriction to live in the village was lifted. More than half of the village residents think that they will not return to the village, especially young couples and families with children. The seventh anniversary of the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami that devastated northeastern Japan and triggered a nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant will be marked on 11 March 2018.
