  • Maintenance of ASR-Affected Structures in Hokuriku Expressway, Japan
    Maintenance of ASR-affected Structures in Hokuriku Expressway, Japan Mamoru Moriyama1, Masahiro Nomura2 Abstract Increasing amounts of deicing salts have been used to ensure the safety of road surfaces in Hokuriku district, Japan. Sodium chloride, which accounts for the majority of deicers, has been causing damage to road concrete structures due to alkali-silica reaction. This report describes the current state of maintenance and repair techniques of these road structures affected by deicer-related alkali-silica reaction. Introduction Increasing amounts of deicing salts have been used to ensure safety of road surfaces in Hokuriku district, in Japan. The deicers used in this area have been mainly of sodium chloride (NaCl) type. In addition, the structures alongside the Japan sea coastline are subjected to monsoons, which increase its exposure to airborne chlorides from the sea. Therefore, these natural conditions set the road structures of the Hokuriku district in a permanent saline environment. As the effect of this chloride supply, the cases that alkali-silica reaction (ASR) deteriorates road structures have been increasing. On the other hand, river gravels and river sands have been used as concrete aggregates for a long time and these aggregates have been found in seriously ASR-affected structures. ASR has occurred mainly in structures primarily built from 1970 to 1985, a time when high alkali cement had been produced in Japan. Over the course of time, reactive river sands and gravels may not be properly assessed since these aggregates contain a wide variety of rock types, as well as different types and contents of reactive minerals. Central Nippon Expressway Company has covered the sections from Kinomoto IC (Shiga Prefecture) to Asahi IC (Toyama Prefecture) in Hokuriku Expressway and Oyabe-tonami JCT (Toyama Prefecture) to Shirakawago IC (Gifu Prefecture) in Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway, a total of 300km (9-39 years in service).

  • The Fukushima Nuclear Accident and Crisis Management
    e Fukushima Nuclearand Crisis Accident Management e Fukushima The Fukushima Nuclear Accident and Crisis Management — Lessons for Japan-U.S. Alliance Cooperation — — Lessons for Japan-U.S. Alliance Cooperation — — Lessons for Japan-U.S. September, 2012 e Sasakawa Peace Foundation Foreword This report is the culmination of a research project titled ”Assessment: Japan-US Response to the Fukushima Crisis,” which the Sasakawa Peace Foundation launched in July 2011. The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant that resulted from the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011, involved the dispersion and spread of radioactive materials, and thus from both the political and economic perspectives, the accident became not only an issue for Japan itself but also an issue requiring international crisis management. Because nuclear plants can become the target of nuclear terrorism, problems related to such facilities are directly connected to security issues. However, the policymaking of the Japanese government and Japan-US coordination in response to the Fukushima crisis was not implemented smoothly. This research project was premised upon the belief that it is extremely important for the future of the Japan-US relationship to draw lessons from the recent crisis and use that to deepen bilateral cooperation. The objective of this project was thus to review and analyze the lessons that can be drawn from US and Japanese responses to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, and on the basis of these assessments, to contribute to enhancing the Japan-US alliance’s nuclear crisis management capabilities, including its ability to respond to nuclear terrorism.

Ltd., Agoyama 775-1, Shizuoka Prefecture, Fujinomiya City 418-0037, Japan 2 Center for Radioscience Education and Research, Faculty of Science, Shizuoka University, 836 Ohya, Suruga-ku, Shizuoka City 422-8529, Japan; [email protected]; Tel.: +81-54-238-4804 * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +81-544-23-0303 Received: 28 August 2020; Accepted: 15 September 2020; Published: 17 September 2020 Abstract: Radiocontaminated soil in a paddy field in the Iitate village in Fukushima was treated with an industrial paper sludge carbon (PSC) prior to growing rice in May 2011. The results showed that the sum of the activity concentrations of 134Cs and 137Cs in the polished rice harvested in October 2011 was 30 Bq kg 1, a level much lower than the Japanese governmental safeguard value of 100 Bq kg 1. · − · − Upon contacting with the contaminated soil, the contents of calcium, magnesium, copper, potassium, and barium in the PSC were decreased. Among the PSCs impregnated with various chlorides and sulfates of the previously mentioned minerals, potassium chloride, copper sulfate, magnesium sulfate, and potassium sulfate yielded higher decontamination degrees compared to the original PSC. The results imply that radioactive cesium in the soil exchanges cations with these minerals. Keywords: paper sludge carbon; decontamination; rice; ion exchange; 134Cs; 137Cs 1. Introduction As the radiocontaminated soil from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986 is concerned, Guillitte and co-workers [1] proposed countermeasures such as the removal of contaminated surface soil, spraying contaminated canopies with detergents or cleaning agents, defoliation and removal of fallen leaves, as well as plowing after clear felling and prior to planting.

  • March 2011 Earthquake, Tsunami and Fukushima Nuclear Accident Impacts on Japanese Agri-Food Sector

Introduction On March 11, 2011 the strongest recorded in Japan earthquake off the Pacific coast of North-east of the country occurred (also know as Great East Japan Earthquake, 2011 Tohoku earthquake, and the 3.11 Earthquake) which triggered a powerful tsunami and caused a nuclear accident in one of the world’s largest nuclear plant (Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Plant Station). It was the first disaster that included an earthquake, a tsunami, and a nuclear power plant accident. The 2011 disasters have had immense impacts on people life, health and property, social infrastructure and economy, natural and institutional environment, etc. in North-eastern Japan and beyond [Abe, 2014; Al-Badri and Berends, 2013; Biodiversity Center of Japan, 2013; Britannica, 2014; Buesseler, 2014; FNAIC, 2013; Fujita et al., 2012; IAEA, 2011; IBRD, 2012; Kontar et al., 2014; NIRA, 2013; TEPCO, 2012; UNEP, 2012; Vervaeck and Daniell, 2012; Umeda, 2013; WHO, 2013; WWF, 2013]. We have done an assessment of major social, economic and environmental impacts of the triple disaster in another publication [Bachev, 2014]. There have been numerous publications on diverse impacts of the 2011 disasters including on the Japanese agriculture and food sector [Bachev and Ito, 2013; JA-ZENCHU, 2011; Johnson, 2011; Hamada and Ogino, 2012; MAFF, 2012; Koyama, 2013; Sekizawa, 2013; Pushpalal et al., 2013; Liou et al., 2012; Murayama, 2012; MHLW, 2013; Nakanishi and Tanoi, 2013; Oka, 2012; Ujiie, 2012; Yasunaria et al., 2011; Watanabe A., 2011; Watanabe N., 2013].

  • 10 Years Since the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster
    10 YEARS SINCE THE FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR DISASTER By Philip White February 2021 Philip White was international liaison officer for the Tokyo-based Citizens' Nuclear Information Center at the time of the Fukushima nuclear accident. In 2014 he completed a PhD on public participation in Japan's nuclear energy policy-forming process. 1. Remembering the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster 2. How the disaster unfolded 3. What's the situation now? Evacuees ‒ Health issues ‒ Liability and compensation ‒ Decontamination of the environment and agriculture ‒ Radioactive water and fishing ‒ Decommissioning of nuclear power plants ‒ Cost 4. Post-Fukushima energy policy 5. Putting it in perspective References 1. Remembering the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster Ten years ago, three of the nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station suffered melt downs in the days following a Magnitude 9 earthquake that struck off the northeast coast of Japan on 11 March 2011. Along with the 1986 nuclear accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in the former Soviet Union, it was one of the two worst nuclear power accidents in history. On the tenth anniversary, it is important that we remember what happened then and what has happened since. It is in the interests of those who caused the accident that we forget. We must refuse to do so, for the sake of the victims and to prevent more disasters in future. The most important take-home message is that the disaster is far from over. In order to win the bid for the (now postponed) 2020 Olympics, then Prime Minister Abe asserted that the nuclear accident was 'under control'.
