Inside the Fukushima Exclusion Zone: Teachers Visit Their Futaba Homes - NBNews
Anthony Ballard and Philip Jellyman made a return visit to their former homes near the Fukushima nuclear plant.
FUTABA, Japan — The dried yellow flowers sit in the ruined living room five years after grateful students gave them to a well-loved teacher.
"I brought them home, put them in here, [but] we weren't allowed to bring anything organic because it could have been contaminated," said Anthony Ballard, who taught English in a town 12 minutes' drive from the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
He was forced to flee his home after meltdowns at the stricken facility following the devastating earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011.
