This is an experience record of a "nuclear person," experiencing an evacuation life due to nuclear accidents, a unique record of what was experienced, observed and suggested for future. It is not very detail, but it is his real day-to-day records for a month or so since the accidents.

Kitamura in evacuation camp after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accidents1
Kitamura is a JAIF consultant living 12 years in Tomioka-cho Town near
the Fukushima Daiichi NPP2. After the accidents his family is among the
refugees in an evacuation camp.
This is his day-by-day records, including what he experienced, observed,
analyzed and how he acted.

His house is in Tomioka-cho, 10km south of the NPP site. His first evacuation camp was in Kawauchi-mura Village 20km to the west, further to Tamura-city, 70km away, and the second is in Koriyama-city, 100 km from the site How it started on March 12, 2011 (More details in (4)-3: The reality of the evacuation plans)

At 9:00 a.m. on March 12, 2011, next day of the Big Earthquake, the town emergency broadcast in Tomioka-cho shouted: Dear towners, an emergency started at the Fukushima Daiichi NPP! Evacuate immediately to the Kawauchi-mura Village Office. Drive yourself, if you can not, take a bus at our meeting point ASAP.

The only prior message from the broadcast was the one, immediately after the quake on the previous day: A big tsunami will hit us in 30 minutes; Please evacuate to a height in the back;

Leave and do not approach the coastline. In 30 minutes, I collected and packed some pieces from the house into the car and rushed to start.
The evacuation camp for us is limited to just one location to the west. The east is blocked by the Pacific, the north and south routes were destroyed by the tsunami, no other choice but to the west. The roads to the west had no serious damage. We were very fortunate by chance. It is really surprising that as many as 40, 000 people could evacuate with no panic.
