Japan lifted some of the evacuation advisories surrounding the devastated Fukushima nuclear plant Sept. 30. A 12-mile no-go zone still surrounds the plant, which is home to the worst nuclear accident since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. The evacuation advisories have been lifted for five municipalities within 12-19 miles from Fukushima because the plant is said to be relatively stable with radiation levels within safety standards. Experts think it will take decades before the areas nearest the plant are once again safe for habitation.
