Japanese children who live in the Fukushima nuclear power station area are to spend holidays in Moscow and Moscow region this summer, says the Chief Sanitary Inspector of Russia Gennady Onishchenko.
“Thirty two children from Japan wished to have a holiday not in the Far East but in Moscow and Moscow region. This request of the Japanese government will be satisfied,” said Mr. Onishchenko. He added this issue will be discussed during his meeting with the Japanese ambassador.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster is a series of equipment failures, nuclear meltdowns, and releases of radioactive materials at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, following the 9.0 magnitude Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.
