NISA "sorry" for withholding US radiation maps
Japanese government officials have said they're sorry to communities around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant for failing to release maps showing dangerous radiation areas. The maps were provided by the United States immediately after the nuclear disaster began last year.

Officials from the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency on Thursday apologized to Kawauchi Village Mayor Yuko Endo. All residents of the village were forced to evacuate after the government designated it a no-entry zone.
