Compensation by TEPCO should be decided by radiation level and the extent of damage, not by distance

(by Mrs. Yaeko Sato(55), Koriyama City in Fukushima Prefecture at a gymnasium in Niigata City)
I stay at an evacuation center leaving my self-employed husband home out of fears of radiation. Although the radiation level in Koriyama City is high, people in the city are not eligible for compensations from TEPCO according to a newspaper. The coverage of compensation should be decided based on the radiation level and the extent of damage, not on the distance.
