「使命感持って行く」＝電力会社社員、福島へ定年前に自ら志願

　福島第１原発の事故で、情報提供の遅れなど東京電力の対応に批判が集まる一方、最悪の事態を避けるため、危険を顧みず作業に当たる同社や協力会社の社員もいる。地方の電力会社に勤務する島根県の男性（５９）は、定年を半年後に控えながら、志願して応援のため福島へ向かった。
At this moment Tokyo Electric Power Company has against wind of public opinion that complains about their delay for disclosing information about damaged nuclear power plant by East Japan earthquake, but meanwhile many their employees are still struggling to prevent further serious accident at the site. One man working for Electric power company in west Japan left for the damaged nuclear power plant to join very dangerous this working voluntarily. He has only 6 months until his retirement.

　会社員の娘（２７）によると、男性は約４０年にわたり原発の運転に従事し、９月に定年退職する予定だった。事故発生を受け、会社が募集した約２０人の応援派遣に応じた。男性は１３日、「今の対応で原発の未来が変わる。使命感を持って行きたい」と家族に告げ、志願したことを明かした。話を聞いた娘は、家ではあまり話さず、頼りなく感じることもある父を誇りに思い、涙が出そうになったという。
According to his daughter, he's already been working in nuclear power plant 40 years, and will retire on this September. After this accident by earthquake and Tusnami on March 11th, he applied to join this 20 staffs aide team from his company. He told his family on 13th if further accident happened in Fukushima plant Japan might give up nuclear power plants forever, and he decided to go to Fukushima. Usually he is quiet in his home , sometimes the daughter feels lackadaisical father. But after hearing his words, tears kept filling her eyes and she was proud of father.

　東京電力側の受け入れ体制が整った１５日朝、男性は自宅をたった。特別なことにしたくないと考えた娘は見送りはせず、普段通りに出勤した。「最初は行ってほしくなかったが、もし何かあっても、自分で決めたことなら悔いはないと思った」と話し、無事の帰宅を祈る。
He departed his home in Shimane on 15th. In the morning she believes he come back safely, so didn't say anything special.

　男性の妻（５８）は「彼は１８歳の時からずっと原発の運転をしてきた。一番安全なものをやっているという自信があったんだと思う」と話す。出発を見送り、「現地の人に安心を与えるために、頑張ってきて」と声を掛けたという。
His wife has also comment, "He's been operating plant since 18 years old. So he has confidence nuclear power is safe. He can do it, and give them safety living near the plant."
