beABLE CO.,LTD.

Born in 2003 and raised in Soma City, Fukushima Prefecture, I studied commerce at Odaka Industrial Technology High School before pursuing further specialized education at a vocational college in Sendai. Driven by a strong desire to contribute to Fukushima’s recovery, I joined beABLE CO.,LTD.
I am currently a member of the Construction Department, engaged in decommissioning work at TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, primarily in construction management. Last summer, through an invitation from an NPO in Hirono Town, I participated in a study program with high school students on the theme of “Challenges and Proposals for the Final Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Waste.” We visited nuclear-related facilities in Aomori and Fukushima, as well as Switzerland, a country recognized for its advanced approach to radioactive waste disposal.
Seeing these sites firsthand allowed me to view these issues as my own responsibility and deepened my commitment to Fukushima’s recovery and to future generations. Through this valuable experience, I broadened my perspective by learning about different approaches in Japan and abroad. I will continue to value opportunities to see, listen, and learn, deepen my understanding of nuclear energy, and contribute to Fukushima’s ongoing recovery while sharing my experiences with others.
