In Japan, the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station continued to be unpredictable, but on April 26 of that year, it was just 25 years since the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station, which is considered to be the worst in history. rice field. It was an interview to estimate the future of Fukushima.

At that time, when I walked around Kyiv city, there was Japanese on the big banner on the outer wall of the Ukrainian National Opera.
