Here's What Fukushima Looks Like, Five Years On

The tsunami caused a meltdown at three of Fukushima's six reactors, and forced the evacuation of 100,000 people. 

Now, five years on, Getty photographer Christopher Furlong has taken a tour inside the Fukushima Daiichi power plant that is being decommissioned after the meltdown. He photographed the trained professionals that are working to decontaminate the area.

Take a look at some of his insightful images below.
