 d since the Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent Fukushima Daiichi N
 uclear Power Plant accident. Steady progress has been made towards the rec
 onstruction of Fukushima\, the repopulation of surrounding areas\, and the
  decommissioning of the plant\, of which Tokyo Electric Power Company Hold
 ings (TEPCO) must shoulder &yen\;16 trillion of the &yen\;22 trillion\, th
 e total estimated cost of the accident. Meanwhile\, with Japan having full
 y liberalized its electricity and gas retail market\, the business environ
 ment surrounding TEPCO is undergoing a major change. In the long term\, TE
 PCO foresees a decrease in demand for their power service and increased co
 mpetition among utility companies. In this program\, Naomi Hirose\, who en
 deavored to manage the Fukushima incident and spearheaded reform as Presid
 ent of TEPCO from 2012 to 2017\, shares his insights on the current situat
 ion in Fukushima\, lessons learned and implications from the accident. \n
