  • 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.

Second, the educational the central theme of which is the author Nakazawa Keiji’s appropriateness of the comic in a school library collection experiences as an atomic survivor in Hiroshima during and and its value as educational material were discussed. Third, after World War II, which became the subject of disputes in the the author Nakazawa‟s view of history, especially of summer and fall of 2013 in Japan. The Board of Education of the City of Matsue requested that all the elementary and junior Japanese wartime conduct and the issue of war responsibility high schools in the city move the comic books to closed shelves as revealed in the volumes simultaneously became an issue in to restrict students’ free access in December 2012, citing an dispute. excess of violent description as the reason.

  • Seismotectonic Modeling of the Repeating M 7-Class Disastrous Odawara Earthquake in the Izu Collision Zone, Central Japan
    Earth Planets Space, 56, 843–858, 2004 Seismotectonic modeling of the repeating M 7-class disastrous Odawara earthquake in the Izu collision zone, central Japan Katsuhiko Ishibashi Research Center for Urban Safety and Security/Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Kobe University, Kobe 657-8501, Japan (Received February 16, 2004; Revised July 15, 2004; Accepted July 21, 2004) Odawara City in central Japan, in the northernmost margin of the Philippine Sea (PHS) plate, suffered from severe earthquake disasters five times during the last 400 years with a mean repeat time of 73 years; in 1633, 1703, 1782, 1853 and 1923. In this region, non-volcanic Izu outer arc (IOA), the easternmost part of the PHS plate, has been subducted beneath Honshu (Japanese main island), and volcanic Izu inner arc (IIA) on the west of IOA has made multiple collision against Honshu. I hypothesize ‘West-Sagami-Bay Fracture’ (WSBF) beneath Odawara, a north-south striking tear fault within the PHS plate that has separated the descending IOA crust from the buoyant IIA crust, through examinations of multiple collision process and the PHS plate configuration. WSBF is considered a blind causative fault of the 1633, 1782 and 1853 M 7 Odawara earthquakes, and is inferred to have ruptured also during the 1703 and 1923 great Kanto earthquakes simultaneously with the interplate main fault. A presumable asperity on WSBF just beneath Odawara seems to control the temporal regularity of earthquake occurrence. Though WSBF has not yet been detected directly, it is considered an essential tectonic element in this region, which might be a fracture zone with a few or several kilometer thickness actually.

Low Cost Octane Enhancer Higher Octane Allowed Better Engines More Efficient Higher Power Output Lead In Gasoline Causes Serious Problems High Ambient Lead Levels Precludes The Use of Catalytic Converters To Reduce CO, HC and NOx High Vehicle Maintenance Costs Adverse Health Effects From Lead At low doses, toxic to brain, kidney, reproductive and cardiovascular systems Manifestations include impairments in intellectual function, kidney damage, infertility, miscarriage, and hypertension. At high exposures, lead is lethal to humans, inducing convulsions and irreversible hemorrhage in the brain. Long term exposures associated with increased risks of kidney cancer. Other Adverse Health Effects reduced sperm counts crosses the placenta and is accumulated by the fetus reduced birth weight reduced fetal skeletal growth Other Adverse Health Effects - Continued increased blood pressure in adults population-based studies in which lead exposure and blood pressure are measured prospective studies in which blood pressure is monitored in persons as their lead exposures increase (usually in occupational settings, eg traffic police) case control studies in which lead exposure is measured and compared in persons with and without diagnosed hypertension Children Are Especially Susceptible increased likelihood of exposure,
