People living in a 20-30 kilometer radius of Japan's troubled Fukushima power plant have been advised to move due to food shortages, Kyodo news agency said on Friday, RIA Novosti.
Radioactive pollution around the plant, which was left severely damaged by a powerful earthquake and tsunami earlier this month, remains high, with radioactive iodine in seawater 147 times the safety limit.
"The distribution of goods is stalled, and it is rather difficult to maintain their daily living over a long period of time," government spokesman Yukio Edano said. He added that the government would fully support residents to relocate.
