During the nuclear emergency at the Fukushima plant, a group of 50 fearless scientists, engineers and technicians volunteered to face the devastating crisis. After the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, which compromised the cooling systems, these professionals worked tirelessly in extreme conditions, exposed to radiation thousands of times higher than the levels considered safe. Their main mission was to pump seawater to cool the damaged reactors, thus preventing an explosion with even more catastrophic consequences. Aware of the imminent risks to their health and safety, this small elite team, known as the “Fukushima 50”, became a true symbol of sacrifice and heroism, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to protecting millions of people from an unprecedented nuclear crisis.
