A new multilingual website has been launched by the government with the aim of assuaging concerns about Fukushima Prefecture, the area most affected by the 2011 nuclear accident, the world's worst since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
The Fukushima Updates website, available in Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean, offers information about the region's radiation levels and food safety standards in a bid to reassure people amid lingering concerns about the prefecture being unsafe.
The website was established in early March by the Reconstruction Agency, which oversees recovery from the devastating earthquake and tsunami that triggered the crisis at the Fukushima No.1 nuclear plant.
