JP Gov did not evacuate JP emperor to west Japan for the risk of panic

Edano former chief cabinet secretary and Fukuyama deputy chief cabinet secretary unofficially considered having Japanese emperor evacuate to west Japan in March of 2011.
They assumed the worst senario that Tokyo area may become evacuating zone as well.

As the result of consideration, they quit having Japanese emperor evacuate to west Japan because it would cause panic and anxiety and the radiation level in Tokyo did not go high enough.

2011年3月の東日本大震災と福島第1原発の事故発生の直後に、当時の首相官邸中枢が、天皇陛下に関西方面へ避難していただくことを非公式に検討していたことがわかった。
原発事故直後の首相官邸は、事故が深刻化した場合、首都圏までが避難対象となる最悪のシナリオも想定していた。
こうした状況を受け、当時の菅首相のもとで、枝野官房長官(当時)や福山官房副長官(当時)らが、天皇陛下に関西方面へ避難していただくことを非公式に検討し、その是非について、関係者と協議していたことがわかった。
検討の結果、天皇陛下が東京から避難されれば、国民の大きな不安や混乱を招くとの懸念に加え、東京の放射線量がそれほど高くならなかったことから、この案は立ち消えになったとのことだが、あらためて事故発生直後の事態の深刻さが浮き彫りとなった。

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
