What's so interesting about this is that it wasn't radiation that had the biggest direct effect here (like most would assume), even the CDC and WHO recognizes this, it was the social after effects of having zero systems in place to support safe relocation.
Let that sink in, after a nuclear disaster (and two MAJOR natural disasters), the most devastating impact of living in the area was having to live in underfunded temporary housing and the stigma of being viewed as "contaminated".
This is something every society needs a solution for. It's not just about nuclear, natural disasters happen all the time and the best system we have in place is "leave". We can do so much better. This is another instance where improving temporary public housing isn't "just for homeless people", it's for everyone.
