Description: After the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011, Japan faced the enormous challenge of cleaning up radioactive contamination. Following the earthquake and tsunami, the Fukushima Daiichi power plant released radiation, forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes. The cleanup was considered very dangerous because of high radiation levels, which can cause serious illness or shorten life expectancy. A remarkable story from this tragedy was the group of elderly volunteers who stepped forward to help with the cleanup. They called themselves the “Skilled Veterans Corps.” These were retired engineers, teachers, and professionals, mostly in their 60s and 70s. Their idea was simple but powerful: since they were already older, they had less to lose compared to young workers who still had their whole lives ahead of them. By taking on the dangerous jobs, they hoped to protect younger generations from radiation exposure. Around 200–300 elderly people volunteered, showing a strong sense of duty and selflessness. Although authorities did not always allow them to work directly inside the reactor, their willingness to sacrifice inspired many in Japan and around the world. Their actions symbolized courage, community spirit, and the traditional Japanese value of putting others before oneself.
