[u][b]The Owari - 終わり[/b][/u]
Literally translated as [url= http://filesmelt.com/dl/End1.jpg]"The End"[/url] this is the border to the Fukushima Exclusion Zone. Initially during the 2011 meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station the spread of radioactive material was partially halted at the Western Aizu mountains. The border of the Zone begins just East of these mountains and the towns of Fukushima and Koriyama. The Exclusion Zone encompasses 12 Miles around the NPP which is significantly smaller than the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Owari marks the limits of the Exclusion Zone where the National Police Agency and Japanese Defense Forces barricades and roadblocks begin. During the first meltdown event security along The Owari was notoriously light, after the second meltdown the cordon was reinforced with more personal and material. Many roads that were once passable in the early days of the Exclusion Zone are now impassable checkpoints of chain-link fence and razor wired patrolled by the Defense Forces. Officially the new defensive posture was adopted to keep people out of the Exclusion Zone to prevent looting. The response is rumored in reaction to a demographic of people trespassing into the Zone as adventurers and treasure hunters. Even more unsettling still is the rumors that perhaps the Owari was restructured to keep something inside the Exclusion Zone. 

[b][u]Kawamata - 川俣町 [/b][/u]
[url= http://filesmelt.com/dl/article-2537046-1A866F9B00000578-386_964x638.jpg]Kawamata[/url] is a town located in the Date District and is the Western Most territory of The Zone with a population of 15,010 in 2011 and was not evacuated following the first meltdown event at the Fukushima Daiichi Power Station as it was considered a 'Green Zone' where radiation was within acceptable limits, certain districts of the town were evacuated but largely remained in operation up until the 2014 meltdown when the local rivers Hirose and the Isazawa became contaminated by radioactive debris, compromising the water supply. 

[u][b]Iitate Village - 飯舘村[/b][/u]
Located in the Sōma District it is the Northern most territory of the Exclusion Zone [url=http://filesmelt.com/dl/121224021934-japan-ghost-town-00030915-story-top1.jpg]Iitate[/url] previously hosted a population of 6,858 people. On 22 April 2011 the worsening conditions at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station prompted the Japanese Government to permanently evacuate the area. Unlike residents closer to the coast the Tsunami did not reach this far inland leaving the infrastructure mostly intact with the biggest damages resulting from Earthquake damage. Citizens of this territory had enough time to perform a proper evacuation.

[b][u]Namie Town - 浪江町[/b][/u]
Located in the Futaba District [url= http://filesmelt.com/dl/image.img_.png]Namie[/url] is a large territory in the center of the Exclusion Zone. The area and it's 22,068 residents were hastily evacuated during the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami. This is the where severe [url= http://filesmelt.com/dl/112053559.jpg]Tsunami[/url] damage begins, with approximately half of the district having been directly impacted by the wave. 

[b][u]Futaba - 双葉町[/b][/u]
[url=http://filesmelt.com/dl/japan_tsunami.01_.before_.jpg]Futaba[/url] Town is an abandoned city in the Futaba District, South of Namie. An estimated population of 7,406 lived there prior to the 2011 disaster which destroyed 90% of all houses. Residents of Futaba had approximately fifteen minutes to evacuate inland or to higher ground prior to the Tsunami and due to the meltdown they were never allowed to return to what remained. Due to the worsening conditions at Fukushima Daiichi not all bodies have been recovered and clean-up efforts have been suspended indefinitely. 

[b][u]Okuma Ōkuma - 大熊町[/b][/u]
Located in Futaba District [url= http://filesmelt.com/dl/article-0-0B2B739300000578-312_964x6051.jpg]Okuma[/url] is the town in the shadow of Fukushima Daiichi with a population of 11,515 before the disaster. The Tsunami washed away the entire town leaving a massive debris field miles wide. The metldown at the NPP further hampered recovery and clean-up efforts. Few people have laid eyes on this region of the Exclusion Zone and it's said to be one of the most dangerous and unstable areas outside of the NPP it's self with the landscape and debris field constantly shifting and moving. 

[b][u]Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant - 福島第一原子力発電所[/u][/b]
On march 11th 2011 the Earthquake and Tsuanmi overwhelmed the [url= http://filesmelt.com/dl/Fukushima-Daiichi-February-26th.jpg]Fukushima Daiichi Power Station[/url] causing a cascading failure of safety equipment and a uncontrollable chain-reaction which resulted in the partial meltdown and explosion of reactor 1, 2 and 3. The radioactive release promoted the area surrounding the plant to be evacuated. The plant was thought to be stabilized when in 2014 for unknown reasons a runaway reaction occurred resulting in secondary explosions in reactor 1, 2 and 3 spreading even more radioactive material throughout the area. All personnel at the plant were lost and all attempts to regain entry to the plant have ended tragically. The reactors continue to release radioactive material although the Japanese Government insists it has been primarily focused within the 12 mile Exclusion Zone and thus as been left to it's own fate until the Government can devise a way to reach the plant and stabilize the reaction or seal the reactors.
