But Mr. Takahashi, 47, feels he has no choice: enough, to his mother support deserve, must he is back to his job as a technician at the Fukushima Daini, only six kilometres from the Daiichi nuclear plant, which spew radioactive particles go.
"For me asking them several days ago called," said Mr. Takahashi. "I got back." He dismissed a question about the dangers. in Fukushima the stagnant economy he said he was happy to have a job. "I don't, try thinking about it," he said.
This despair speaks volumes about the tough decisions made residents of some of Japan's most remote communities in a country where war has focused on economic growth in the major cities.
Four years ago Shiro Izawa championed and his colleagues Town Council members plant a plan for two new reactors in the Prefecture of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power, create a welcome addition of jobs and capital to the otherwise sleepy city of Futaba.
Now, he is driven also a refugee, from his home by the very plant, he long but as the support of the local economy.
"The plant should be to make sure," Mr Izawa said at the shelter outside of Tokyo, 150 km from Fukushima. "That was the promise." We had no industry in Futaba. "To thrive, Futaba needed the plant."
Now city officials with the evacuation of Futaba's consumes 6900 inhabitants, lead a group of about 1,300 people from a makeshift sleeping place to the next. It is a tragic story of a community in the course of which evacuated world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.
On Thursday they Kazo, the large abandoned high school in Saitama reached you offered. Tired and laden with bags, they went quietly to their assigned rooms: 45 people in the music room, 40 people in the computer lab, 70 in the library.
Some within the Group had complained, that they remain closer to Fukushima had hoped, and some residents Futaba are scattered evacuation centres remain.
But Katsutaka Idogawa, Mayor of the city, argued that Futaba's residents should stay together. Was there no space big enough, the entire group in Fukushima, and a stadium, which had offered them temporary shelter was reopened for a series of concerts, forcing them to leave.
"The most important thing is that we stay together as one," said Mayor Idogawa. "It helps us to help you." "It helps us ensure that everyone is all right."
Much of the growth outside Japan cities come from huge public works projects or when the Futaba, a nuclear complex host agreed it easily in the 1960s.
There are soul searching now Futaba's refugees. Many in the shelter speak importance to the town, from the plant and how it helped buoy the fortunes of once declining city.
But there is also frustration about the handling of the crisis, as also a sense of injustice at the Tokyo electric power company, the plant operator, addressed; the Tokyo Electric generated power supply of the capital, not local homes and businesses in Fukushima.
Futaba was once a backwater reeling from coal mining post-war decline, and a source of migrant workers for Tokyo, so Futaba of the heads of State and Government with enthusiasm to requests from Tokyo Electric in 1960 on a possible nuclear plant reacts in the area.
In the following year unanimously the City Council of Futaba, together with a neighbouring town, Okuma, Tokyo Electric, a nuclear power plant on a 900-acre farm, build invite Fukushima records according to prefectures.
When Fukushima Daiichi six reactors online of the 1970s was also brightened Futaba's fortunes. Until the end of the decade the plant employs thousands of workers and the town's population grew from less than 7000 to a peak of almost 9.000. Futaba's success electric for an other nuclear power station in the area, prompted two neighboring cities in court Tokyo 1975 began work on the nuclear power plant in Fukushima Daini, where Mr Takahashi has worked for 15 years.
