ON March 11, 2011, a massive earthquake and tsunami hit Tepco’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS), releasing radioactive materials into the surrounding environment inside and outside of Fukushima Prefecture.
After the accident, decontamination efforts began to remove the surface of soil in the region so that local residents could return home safely.
