A small group of engineers, operators, and emergency workers, known as the Fukushima 50, stayed behind as the world watched in shock. In this educational documentary episode, we explore the timeline of the events with insights from disaster governance anthropologist Dr. Maxime Polleri. Discover the engineering challenges, critical decisions under pressure, and the long-term impact on Japanese society. Understand the history, science of nuclear containment, and untold stories of the workers who stood as the last line of defense. Thank you to Dr. Maxime Polleri for his anthropological insights.
