Special Project
People are the “KEY”• “People” did it all: contemplating, planning
and putting into practice measures to find a way out of this situation– Removing debris, cooling reactors with
fire engines, restoring power supplies, cooling with temporary pumps, reinforcing spent fuel pools and adding water, fueling power-generating vehicles and fire engines and many other tasks were all the work of people
– Most of the responders lived in the local community and they performed their work while worrying about whether their families were safe and had evacuated
– Many of the employees prepared themselves for the end

Examples of Flexible Responding
③ Pure water supply for water injection into the reactor (U.S. barge)
19
① Water injection into the reactor core by fire engines and temporary pump(use of water for fire-fighting, intruded water and seawater)
② Recovery of cooling seawater system by installing temporary pump, control panel, power supply from outside of the plant (at Unit 5, 6)

Messages from Fukushima-50“There is no way we can protect the lives of the local residents if we can’t protect the lives of the people on site.” Former Site Superintendent Yoshida

Were we aware of what an important role people
play?
“If the operators had left the control room it would’ve meant that we had given up trying to control the reactor. In other words, we would have been abandoning the community and our families who had put their trust in us.” Former Unit 1, 2 Shift Supervisor Izawa
