National Institute of Technology, Fukushima College Department of Electrical and Electronic System Engineering　Fourth-year

I am originally from Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture.
I experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake at the age of three.

After enrolling at the National Institute of Technology, Fukushima College, I learned about the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in my second year, which sparked my interest in nuclear power generation and decommissioning. I have visited facilities related to decommissioning, including the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, the Oma Nuclear Power Construction Site, the Higashidori Nuclear Power Plant, and the Tsuruga Nuclear Power Plant, where I studied safety measures and decommissioning technologies. In February 2025, I received the Presentation Encouragement Award at the 10th Next-Generation Initiative Decommissioning Technology Conference. Since my third year, I have been engaged in the development and research of robots related to decommissioning.

As a student studying decommissioning in Fukushima, I believe that the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant represents a long-term challenge that will shape the future of Fukushima. I consider it an important role for us to continue learning the advanced technologies and expertise required for this effort. In order to contribute to decommissioning work in the future, I aim to deepen my understanding of relevant technologies and steadily build my knowledge through lectures and learning opportunities both inside and outside of school.
