　政府は２０日、東京電力福島第１原発事故で帰還困難区域に指定された福島県富岡町のＪＲ常磐線夜ノ森駅周辺の避難指示を、来年３月１０日に解除する方針を決めた。２０日に富岡町と最終協議し合意を得た。今後、政府の原子力災害対策本部で正式決定する見通し。帰還困難区域の避難指示が解除されるのは初めて。
　政府は来年３月末までに予定されている常磐線の全線再開に合わせ、帰還困難区域内にある３駅周辺の避難指示を解除する方針。双葉駅（双葉町）、大野駅（大熊町）周辺についても、解除日を両町や県と協議中で、関係者によると、双葉駅周辺は３月４日、大野駅は同５日を軸に最終調整している。

The Japanese government plans to lift evacuation orders for areas surrounding train stations close to Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, it was learned Friday.
   The government and the town of Tomioka, Fukushima Prefecture, in northeastern Japan, agreed to lift an evacuation order around the town's Yonomori Station on East Japan Railway Co.'s Joban Line on March 10 next year.
   It will be the first instance of an evacuation order being lifted for an area designated as a "difficult-to-return zone" after the March 2011 nuclear disaster. The decision is expected to be made official by the government's Nuclear Emergency Response Headquarters.
   The government is also in talks with municipalities over removing evacuation orders for districts surrounding two other Joban Line stations, ahead of the train line's planned full reopening by the end of March next year.
   The government is holding discussions with the prefectural government and the town governments of Futaba and Okuma, which both host the nuclear plant, on the dates for lifting the orders for areas around Futaba and Ono stations, located in Futaba and Okuma, respectively. According to sources, the negotiators are expected to settle on March 4 as the date for the Futaba station area.
