東海第２原発の避難計画策定　３．８万人対象―東海村

　茨城県東海村は２７日、日本原子力発電東海第２原発（同村）で事故が起きた場合に備えた広域避難計画を策定した。対象は村全域で、全村民約３万８０００人を想定。ほぼ全域が原発から５キロ圏内に入るため、事故時は放射性物質が放出される前に避難するとした。避難先として同県南部の取手、守谷、つくばみらい３市の公共、民間施設計約１３０カ所を見込む。（2023/12/27-21:09）

The eastern Japan village of Tokai on Wednesday decided a wide-area evacuation plan in case of an accident at Japan Atomic Power Co.'s Tokai No. 2 nuclear power plant there.
   The evacuation plan covers the whole of the Ibaraki Prefecture village with about 38,000 residents. They would be told to evacuate before radioactive materials are released in the event of an accident, because most of the village is located within 5 kilometers of the nuclear plant.
   Evacuees would be accommodated at about 130 public and private facilities in the three cities of Toride, Moriya and Tsukubamirai in southern Ibaraki.
   The plan says that evacuations would start with people requiring special care, such as residents of social welfare facilities and hospitalized patients.
   In principle, village residents would use private vehicles to evacuate, while those who cannot drive would be evacuated by bus from temporary gathering places in their neighborhoods.
