Japan's top government spokesman said Monday that Tokyo has decided to evacuate all or part of five towns and villages outside the current 20-kilometer evacuation zone around the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, citing the possible risk of long-term cumulative radiation exposure in those areas.
Mr. Edano also said that all schools within a 30-kilometer radius from the plant will be closed.
