Improvement of Working Environment at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi NPS

In order to improve safety and workability by reducing workers' load, efforts to improve the working environment, for such work as debris removal and paving of roads, have been made at Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO)'s Fukushima Daiichi NPS. As a result, areas where workers can work in regular work clothing expanded to approx. 96% of the entire premises in June 2018.

Furthermore, in October 2018 onward, it became possible to move around in some areas without wearing specific protective gear.

In May 2015, a large rest house was opened and workers are served with hot meals prepared at the food service center and can take a shower and buy things at a convenience store. They can thus work under normal working conditions, except for a certain zone, at present.
