The finale of my tour in Fukushima was a guided tour to the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant reactors 1 through 3. Being at the site felt eerie, due to its sheer size as well as its location, where its 10~20 kilometers' radius has been reduced to an essential no man's land due to the prolonged forced evacuation. But still, there was a sense of hope owing to the presence of thousands of engineers and workers at the site, attempting to undo what was done, trying to resolve a catastrophe that was never their own making. Curently, their task is to find out a way to recoup the highly radiocative debris from within the defunct reactors. They now work, day and night, to recover its first gram.
