• To all the evacuees of the nuclear power plant
  Due to the suspension of construction work, the Yamamoto IC, which is subject to the free measures, will no longer be available, so Watari IC will be the free target IC instead of the Yamamoto IC.
  On the day when Watari IC cannot be used, Iwanuma IC will be used as a free IC instead. Since the Yamamoto IC can be used outside the closed hours, Watari IC and Iwanuma IC are not eligible for free measures.
