He Stayed His Post

Knowing all the factors
He stayed his post
To tame the reactors
And was exposed the most
Towering waves
And aftershocks
His job a grave
Against the clocks
It is good to give thanks
And remember him
For Japan and its banks
He is a hero for them

I remember his heroic efforts and thinking he would die.  He lived, though and unrelated cancer got the best of him.

The former boss of the Fukushima nuclear plant, who stayed at his post to try to tame reactors after Japan's earthquake and tsunami in 2011, has died of throat cancer
