Gov't to ask 4 prefectures to relocate nuclear emergency centers
The Japanese Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency plans to ask four prefectures to relocate emergency control centers that are currently within 5 kilometers from nuclear power plants, sources close to the matter said Friday.

An offsite center 5 km from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant became unusable for responding to the March 2011 accident due to radioactive contamination, leading the agency to find it necessary to come up with relocation plans.
