International Forum Day 1

What kind of event is this forum?: The forum is an event for members of the local community, people interested in the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi NPS, and officials from organizations and companies carrying out the decommissioning to come together under one roof and discuss the decommissioning process and the future of the local community.
Since it is an international forum, we expect people from other countries to attend who are interested in the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi NPS. By having participants from a wide range of backgrounds talk together about their thoughts and ideas, we hope to promote better understanding of the current state of the decommissioning process and of the local community. All our plans for the forum are directed at achieving this type of event.
