14 In March, with the explosion of boiler No.3 of Fukushima No.1 1 nuclear power plant and more and more unknown information, Sendai City, which is at the center of the storm, was always in the panic of nuclear radiation.
To the south of Sendai 100 km is Fukushima, and less than 20 km to the north is Nukawa Nuclear Power Station. In the shadow of nuclear panic, Sendai began a large-scale retreat.
The first to bear the brunt are the international students in Sendai. On June 4th, 65438, the reporter saw in the International Student Hall of Northeastern University that many China students began to pack their bags and rushed to the nearest Yamagata Prefecture to take refuge.
The bus stop at Miyagi Prefecture Hall to Yamagata has been very crowded since yesterday. It takes two hours to get on the bus in line here, and then two hours to get to Yamagata Prefecture, which is relatively safe. Since the earthquake, from Yamagata to Niigata and then to Tokyo, it has become a standard escape route for international students.
"In fact, we are not afraid of earthquakes and tsunamis, but the nuclear leakage is terrible. The location of Sendai will not be evacuated within 10 hours, and you can't leave if you want to. " International student Ding said. More panic actually comes from China. Parents are naturally uneasy when they watch those horrible pictures on TV every day. They call back every day, urging them to take refuge in China.
Northeastern University has nearly a thousand international students. Three days after the earthquake, 80% of international students have left Sendai. Some international students took a laptop and embarked on a journey of escape. "Life is almost gone, what luggage do you take?" .
Other foreigners in Japan are also in fear. In Sendai, Indonesian students and German students from Northeastern University have left Sendai by themselves. Amos, a Frenchman who went to school in Sendai, has lived in the shelter of Miyagi Prefecture Hall for three days. His analysis is that it is the best refuge because of its convenient access to information and stable buildings. At the same time, he has enough food so that he can stay indoors for a few days even if there is a problem with the nuclear facility. And he kept calling the French embassy, and the response was: the situation is very stable at present.
Compared with the panic of foreigners, the Japanese are much calmer. They believe the government's statement more. After the earthquake, Yamamoto, a college student, received a rumor email saying that the nuclear of the Fukushima nuclear power plant had leaked, and the rain that began immediately the next day convinced him. When the Japanese government issued an environmental report and resumed power supply and water supply 48 hours after the earthquake, he immediately dismissed his concerns. He patted his chest and told reporters: "Don't be afraid, Sendai is very safe."
