Thousands evacuated in disaster drills near Japan's 1st post-Fukushima nuclear plant | 20 Dec 2015 | About 3,600 officials and residents have taken part in nuclear disaster drills near Japan's Sendai Nuclear Power Plant. The plant was the first to be reopened following the 2011 Fukushima disaster, despite warnings over tectonic risks. The drills in Kagoshima Prefecture in southwestern Japan, within 30 km of the power plant, simulated a serious nuclear accident, Kyodo news reported. At least 1,200 residents who were living within 5 km from the Sendai plant were evacuated by buses and other vehicles. Sendai Nuclear Power Plant, in the city of Satsumasendai – with a population of 100,000 people – is [insanely] located near the volcanically active Kirishima mountain range. Mount Ioyama, located just 65 kilometers away from the plant, is experiencing tremors, prompting the Meteorological Agency to issue warnings. [Instead of doing 'disaster drills,' just don't build nuclear plants, *duh.*]
