2 Coming into a decade since the disaster Revitalization in Fukushima has been making steady progress. The evacuation order was partially lifted for Futaba Town where all residents had been evacuated and there was the full opening of the Fukushima Robot Test Field as well. On the other hand, the path to revitalization is still long and difficult. Due to the unprecedented compound disaster, more than 37,000 people are still evacuated. In addition, other disasters such as Typhoon Hagibis and COVID-19 have caused an enormous impact amid our revitalization efforts. Revitalization efforts that have shown great progress Revitalization efforts still in progress ○ Atmospheric radiation levels ○ Development progress of the Fukushima ○ ○More than 40,000 people remain Current situation and outlook for Units 1 to 4 at have significantly dropped Robot Test Field the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in a state of evacuation Fukushima (Units 5&6 are in cold shutdown ) City
