Announcement of the Reconstruction Symposium and Call for Participants

A symposium on Fukushima's reconstruction will be held next month on Saturday, March 6th.

The symposium will focus on the "future vision for Fukushima Daiichi decommissioning" and "debris removal," and will discuss the concrete realization of "achieving both reconstruction and decommissioning" in Fukushima, as well as the future vision for Fukushima Daiichi decommissioning 30, 50, and 100 years from now, and regional revitalization. The symposium will also feature a panel discussion, with our company's President Endo scheduled to participate as one of the panelists. The symposium will be held using the online conference service Zoom, so advance registration is required to participate.
