Description
During my last visit to Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, the most obvious work being done was structural. Simultaneously repairing and decommissioning. Fixing and taking apart. The duality of actively working to shut something down is kind of incredible. A literal meltdown leading to a concerted effort by hundreds, if not thousands of people, towards a single goal: destruction.
Driving past this iconic blue and white building, the radiation level inside the van was 22,420 cpm, for comparison the radiation level in a normal uncontaminated environment is closer to 30 cpm.

My brother's suicide. The Tōhoku earthquake. Seemingly unrelated events which had a significant impact on my life.
Abrupt devastation. Unanswerable questions.
Unfinished projects.
