Fukushima town's evacuation order lifted after 12 years.

Japan has reopened part of Tomioka, a town evacuated 12 years ago following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The reopening was celebrated in time for the cherry blossom season, with former residents and visitors strolling along a street known as "the cherry blossoms tunnel". More than 160,000 residents in the areas surrounding the nuclear power plant were evacuated after a triple meltdown at the facility in March 2011. Despite a major decontamination operation, around 30,000 people are still unable to return home.
