We decided to take our son and leave Fukushima on weekends.br/ br/ emApril/em:br/ [The nuclear accident in] Fukushima was raised to a level 7 on the INES (International Nuclear Event Scale). The foreign news coverage seemed absurd and overblown, but we decided to temporarily evacuate just in case.br/ br/ emJune/em:br/ There was no prospect of controlling the aftermath of the nuclear power plant accident. Once we realized that the INES level 7 rating was appropriate, we began to consider a long term evacuation as opposed to a temporary one.br/ When we discussed evacuating from Fukushima with our son, he sobbed, ldquo;I donrsquo;t wanna transfer schools!rdquo; We continued to talk late into the night.br/ br/ emJuly/em:br/ On his last day at his old school, I captured this moment as my son made a resolution. Fighting back tears, he said, ldquo;Someday I will invent something that will get rid of the radioactive contamination and make Fukushima clean.rdquo;br/ br/ span class="small"strongAlice/strongbr/ Photo: Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture, July 2011/span
