Japan has announced a ban on entering the 20-kilometer evacuation zone around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Meanwhile, Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, faced the anger of people forced to leave their homes when he visited a Fukushima evacuation center on Thursday.

A tour of a gymnasium turned evacuation center reveals to Prime Minister Naoto Kan the problems he needs to deal with.

Evacuee said, "I've had about enough of this."

Evacuee said,"Please contain the nuclear plant!"

Naoto Kan said, "We will move up the plan, and the country is making the utmost effort to first, contain the nuclear plant."

Evacuee said,"Step forward. The Prime Minister should take the lead more, and exercise much more leadership, and end this situation as soon as possible please!.... I ask you from the bottom of my heart."

Kan, already unpopular before the disasters hit, has come under fire from inside his own party and the opposition for his handling of the crisis as it drags on.

In the meantime, the wishes of going home for those residents' who live in the 20-km no-entry zone are not likely to be granted in the near future.

Yukio Edano, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary, said, "We have finished co-ordinating the details with relevant government ministries, so we have decided to establish a no-entry zone today according to the disaster preparedness law."

Anyone breaking the ban can be fined up to 12 thousand US dollars or face temporary detention.

TEPCO said it may take the rest of the year or longer to bring the plant under control. Sources say the Japanese government will allow the company to remain listed even after being saddled with an unknown amount for compensation for crisis victims.
