Governor of Fukushima Prefecture The years following the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 saw a succession of gloomy news. It was under such circumstances that I devoted myself to training toward the 2014 Sochi Paralympics, wishing to deliver bright, encouraging news to the people in my homeland, Fukushima. In the world there still seem to be those who even now think Fukushima is as dangerous a place to visit or live as in the days immediately after the nuclear power plant accident. This is simply not true. Except for only a few areas, Fukushima today is a safe place, where local people are living normal daily lives exactly the same way as they used to in the pre-disaster days. At the 2010 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, I wish many people to visit Sep. 2015: Courtesy call by champion, Oct. 2015: Courtesy call by Nat'l Athletic Oct. 2015: Prefectural team inaugural Fukushima and see things firsthand and realize that Fukushima is now safe and sound. 94kg weightlifting category in Inter-High Meet badminton champion (male youth) ceremony for Nat'l Sports Festival for I would also like athletes visiting here to fully enjoy superb nature, food and history as School Competition People with Disabilities in Wakayama well as training. 1 2 Need training camp venues?

Smith 3, William Blake 4, Kazuya Yoshimura 5, Yosuke Yamashiki6 & Takayuki Kuramoto 2,7 Radiocesium released from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FDNPP) and deposited in the terrestrial environment has been transported to the sea through rivers. To study the long-term efect of riverine transport on the remediation process near the FDNPP, a monitoring project was initiated by the University of Tsukuba. It was commissioned by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in June 2011, and was taken over by the Fukushima Prefectural Centre for Environmental Creation from April 2015. The activity concentration and monthly fux of radiocesium in a suspended form were measured in the project. This provides valuable measurement data to evaluate the impact of the accidentally released radiocesium on residents and the marine environment. It can also be used as verifcation data in the development and testing of numerical models to predict future impacts. Background & Summary A 9.0 magnitude earthquake on March 11, 2011, caused the Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FDNPP) to be damaged by a tsunami, causing a large accident that spread radioactive mate- rials into the environment1,2. Tis was the largest release of radioactivity into the environment since the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986, and has been rated on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES) as a “Major Accident” by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)3.

  • 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.

  • March 2011 Earthquake, Tsunami and Fukushima Nuclear Accident Impacts on Japanese Agri-Food Sector
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear accident impacts on Japanese agri-food sector Bachev, Hrabrin January 2015 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/61499/ MPRA Paper No. 61499, posted 21 Jan 2015 14:37 UTC March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear accident impacts on Japanese agri-food sector Hrabrin Bachev1 I. 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'.
