As we mark 10 years since the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster, OurPlanet-TV is releasing a special 120 min edition of “Meltdown Countdown – 49 critical hours of the TEPCO teleconference”with English subtitles. It premieres on YouTube at 9PM JST on March 11th, 2021.

東京電力福島第一原子力発電所事故から10年となる節目に、原発事故の状況を記録する第一級資料である「テレビ会議」の映像をまとめたドキュメンタリー「東電テレビ会議49時間の記録」の120分英語字幕付き動画を特別公開します。事故の生々しい映像を世界中の一人でも多くの方に共有いただければと思います。(2021年3月11日21時から公開)

Culled from over 49 hours of internal video conference records from inside the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the original video document presents four hours of footage from March 12th to March 15th, 2011. Those hours show the public what exactly happened inside the company and how TEPCO continued to lose control as the situation grew more and more serious.

We made an English version of this important historical document with the hope of screening it worldwide. Cutting down the original 206 minutes version to this 102 minutes version, we aim to share an insider’s point of view as we reflect on the origin of one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters.

Tokyo based independent media OurPlanet-TV released the video document, “Meltdown Countdown – 49 critical hours of the TEPCO teleconference” in 2013, which chronicles the struggles and chaotic management of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station during the time of the nuclear disaster that started on March 11th, 2011. This video document received the grand prize from JASTJ (Japanese Association of Science & Technology Journalists) in 2014.
