Meltdown at Fukushima | Ghost Towns with NPR’s Kat Lonsdorf | 5

It’s been more than decade since the meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. But the region is still grappling with the environmental, economic and emotional legacy of the disaster. Evacuations have lifted – but many people still haven’t returned. And what does it mean to reopen a nuclear ghost town? That’s what NPR reporter Kat Lonsdorf wanted to discover when she visited Fukushima in early 2020. Kat joins host Mike Corey to discuss how locals are rebuilding their communities and the future of nuclear power in Japan.


For more on the aftermath of the disaster, listen to Kat Lonsdorf’s NPR series, Recovering Fukushima.
