Roadblocks prohibit unauthorised traffic from entering the 20km (12.5-mile) exclusion zone around Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. Town after town was abandoned after March 11th, following the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster. Journalists are supposedly barred from the exclusion zone, though sympathetic evacuees, many furious with the authorities about their state of limbo, help provide access. Some of the 89,000 displaced residents have been given one-day permits to go home and each collect a box of valuables. The police are particularly vigilant in preventing unauthorised people getting near the stricken plant, owned by Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), Japan's biggest utility. For those forced from their homes as a result of the disaster, compensation cannot come soon enough. But increasingly they are fed up with the shroud of secrecy thrown over the Fukushima plant and the abandoned towns and villages where families had lived for centuries.
