8 years after the Fukushima Earthquake- Today's Efforts

More than eight years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent accident at TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in 2011. The decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi and reconstruction of Fukushima is one of the most important missions of the government of Japan. Having emerged from the initial post-accident emergency response, efforts to decommission of Fukushima Daiichi and the countermeasures for contaminated water are moving forward safely and steadily in accordance with the “Mid-and-Long-Term Roadmap Towards the Decommissioning of TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station”.

The video below, from the Japan Ministry of Economy, conveys the current status of reconstruction of Fukushima Prefecture, including the progress in decommissioning of the TEPCO Fukushima Daiich Nuclear Power Station, the progress being made in redeveloping livable environments, and the reestablishment of livelihoods and businesses.
