Workers of Fukushima Daiichi

OKUMA, JAPAN - FEBRUARY 23: Mitsuyoshi Sato of Toshiba poses for a portrait on February 23, 2016 in Okuma, Japan. Sato works in the team that operates the vacuum-cleaner-like robots that de-contaminate the reactor No. 2 and No. 3 at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Sato has been working in Fukushima for five years as he voluntarily offered to move to Fukushima to do research on water purification five months after the accident, and once that project is settled, again offered to continue in the decontamination project. Sato says he is too busy to think about the meaning of his job, and he has other things that he wants to work on as a researcher, but he feels his job is something that has to be done now. March 11, 2016 marks the fifth anniversary of the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami which claimed the lives of 15,894, and the subsequent damage to the reactors at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant causing the nuclear disaster which still forces 99,750 people to live as evacuees away from the contaminated areas.
