Aye, that's what gets me the most, everything just left like it was that day two years ago, passing the elementary school and seeing the grass growing out in the playground, it's pretty sad to think of the children suddenly plucked away from their homes and scattered throughout Japan. I wonder if they will face the same sort of discrimination that the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki faced, the Hibakusha. One can hope that the campaigns that the original Hibakusha launched, and the fact that they survived this long will help remove the discrimination for the next generation of Hibakusha.
Certainly though, through studies of families evacuated from the exclusion zone, the major health problems have been mental rather than physical.
