Radiation safety advice for returnees to be mulled

Japan's nuclear regulatory body has decided to compile radiation safety guidelines for evacuees who hope to return to their homes near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

The government has designated less-contaminated areas near the plant as zones for preparing for early returns. It plans to allow evacuees from the areas to return home after decontamination work to lower radiation levels and recovery of basic social facilities there.

But evacuees have expressed many concerns about the safety of their hometowns since radiation there will still be higher than in other parts of the country.
