 Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, left, said the government would spend at least $13 billion to clean up vast areas contaminated by radiation from the world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. In an interview with the public broadcaster NHK, Mr. Noda said the decontamination was "a prerequisite for people to return to their homelands." About 80,000 people have been forced to leave their homes since the accident at the Daiichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima. So far, the government has raised $2.9 billion for the decontamination, Mr. Noda said, and plans to allocate a further $3.3 billion in the third extra budget it is set to formalize on Friday. He said more money would come in next year's budget.
