Nuclear Nation II 2014 / フタバから遠く離れて第二部 2014 / Futaba Kara Toku Hanarete Dainibu , Nuclear Nation 2

A sequel to Nuclear Nation, which chronicled the town of Futaba in Fukushima Prefecture that was forcibly evacuated due to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. After the mayor is forced to resign an election is held at the high school shelter. Izawa Shiro is elected, and he relocates Futaba Town Hall back to Iwaki City, Fukushima. However, problems arising from the nuclear accident cast a growing shadow over the town, such as its designation as a ‟difficultto-return zone,‟ and a plan to build an interim storage facility for radioactive waste there.
