Japanese government
has ordered residents in some more areas between 20-km and 30-km ring of the
crippled Fukushima No.1 nuke plant to evacuate due to accumulated radiation,
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said Friday.

He also said residents of
more localities outside the 30-km radius should be prepared to evacuate in case
of emergency.

Japan’s evacuation
directives escalated step by step as workers are still struggling to regain
control of the crippled nuclear power plant after a devastating earthquake and
tsunami hit northeastern regions of Japan on March 11.

From Thursday midnight,
the Japanese government also sealed off the 20-kilometer radius of the Fukushima
No. 1 nuclear power plant to prohibit unrestricted entry.
