A group of
citizens in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, will re-start a direct initiative
calling for the enactment of the “Chernobyl Law in Japan” in 2020.
The kick-off meeting is scheduled for February 15, 2020,
at Ise City Plaza, Ise City.
The group needs
to collect a certain number of signatures in a designated period to
bring the agenda to the municipal assembly to formally discuss.
Earlier this
year, in August 2019, the group actually started their grassroots
initiative. However, it was not successful. They only collected 64
percent of the required numbers (or one 50th of the municipal
population of 18+ years old) during the one-month period.

This is the first
development in Japan toward making a local ordinance that protects the
health and safety of people from radiation exposure following the
Fukushima disaster.
Details will be communicated using this blog site.
