Mr. Sato, from Odaka, is working to repair a neighbors water pipes because they would like to return as soon as possible.  He says, residents have been told they can return in 2 years but he does not think this will be possible.  He live about one hour north in temporary housing set up for evacuees.  He says one of the biggest consequences of the evacuation is that it has split families along generational lines.  Many of the parent of young children have left the area, leaving behind grandparents who would like to return to their homes one day.  Odaka, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
