and by "bright future" they probably meant you will start glowing from the radiation

The caption "Classes were interrupted mid-lesson by the disaster" is incorrect. What is written on the blackboard are love of their school and hometown and wish for the future revival of their hometown, which are apparently written after 3.11 Earthquake.

I LOVE HOW THE DUMP SITE IS RIGHT ON THE SHORE!! One big wave and woosh into the ocean!!

Well, glowing in the dark is a bright future, right?

Fukushima was really old powerhouse.. That's why this accident happened.. Another powerhouse near Tokio(younger one) hasn't even touched by disaster.

The thing about Nuclear energy is that it's a near perfect form of energy. We can now break down 90% of the waste left over from using Nuclear energy and undoubetly we will be able to break down all of it soon enough, however Nuclear energy can be extremely risky when in the hands of stupid people. This is an energy form that needs very strong regulations, and I'm a firm believer that certain countries or areas of countrys that are prone to natural disasters should NOT BE ALLOWED TO HARVEST NUCLEAR ENERGY! One of these countries is yes, Japan. I mean think about this, an extremely earth quake prone country allowing the construction of a Nuclear power plant is already a HUGE red flag. To make it worse, the plant is built on the east coast of Japan, a mere approximately 220km away from the m***********g Marianas Trench. Seems pretty stupid right? This event would have happened no matter what. Chernobyl will most likely never happen again. But this? If we don't wise up we're f****d.

2 years ago there was another perosn - Polish girl (journalist) in Fukushima, Namie, I accidently found her blog over a year ago, she also has other interesting photos from Japan including Yakuza!!! her blog: www.gumkowska.wordpress.com

The photographer has guts. And he has left us with images that are important. Hope he's OK, health wise.

jut a friendly reminder that regular background radiationis around .06-.1 uSv/h

What happens if i get and drive those cars???

Makes me think of Pompeii

This is why australia won't allow nuclear power plants in the country

At least, a lot of car photos are fake. It is a used car collection place existing before the accident. The topic of this photo has already ended.

I personally do not want to live in a world with hills covered in useless wind turbines and farm fields covered in solar panels with a life expectancy of 20 years

If mankind doesn't stop what he is doing and rethink what Nuclear Energy can and will do in the future, the future is doomed. I shudder to think what the next Nuclear disaster will do.

Waiting for a video game based on this place. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lights of Fukushima, I'd play that :D

Its interesting watching, my ego rage , as I go thru this , bless That fun , this "Nuke" thing is/was so dumb , bless ?

THE LAST OF US!!!!!

Something fishy about this whole photoset on the basis of just one image... The stacked televisions. Not a single one was a modern TV. Didn't Fukushima happen in 2012? I spent 3 years in the ultra space-conservative Japan and I find it highly unlikely that post-millennial Japanese are still using bulky box sets in the well established era of flat panel televisions, most of which come from Japan. I have doubts about when these photos come from. Maybe I'm wrong.

Car windows spotlessly clean after 30 years?

It's spooky, though goes to show that mother nature is immensely powerful and not to be fooled with! Simular scenes at chernobyl

Fallout 4

I think the AEC lied to us in the 50s and 60s. They insisted that nuclear energy was safe while we were soaking up enough rads to get cancer.

Those photos boggle my mind. How humans ignore or forget the effects of what is known and need to see and be reminded. Am awestruck by the scenes and the photographer for showing.

3.42 uSv/hr [Total:0.082 mSv/day] = Standard background radiation levels 5.7 uSv/hr [Total: 0.12 mSv/day] = No danger but highest possible safe level To be bad... 0.001 Sv/hr or 1 mSv/hr or 1,000 uSv/hr [Total: 24 mSv/day] = Long term danger and long term cancer risk [Source: http://radiationsurvival.blogspot.jp] 6.79 uSv/hr in the photo isn't that bad really... So, if anything he's shown that the "government readings" are reliable.

Thanks for sharing these photos. Very powerful. The classroom photo of the chalkboard, however, is not a lesson that's written on it. Rather it's people coming back and marking their hopes. Is it a high school? Can't read too clearly but if you send me a larger image I can help translate. reikoish (at) hotmail.com.

Good place to shoot a post apocalyptic movie...

and still they keep biulding nuclear powerplants......mad world, sad world

A very sad incident. Poor planing. I was once a fan of nuclear power and don't really worry about it. I live within about 6 or 7 miles from a plant. I just hope it was built very well as it is on a barrier island in a hurricane zone. It has survived several. I don't like wind mills as they kill girds by the hundreds. Some solar reflectors do also. Plain new teck panels should be the answer.

And solar power is unattainable for most of us. Sad, very sad indeed.

So what's next... Harnessing energy from dark matter?

This can happen everywhere that there are nuclear power plants!

Why are the cars in the first pic 'travelling' in haphazard directions?
