  • 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.

It is a great pleasure to welcome President Kaieda of the Democratic Party of Japan to talk this afternoon about Japanese politics and the U.S.-Japan alliance. I am delighted that my colleague, Jeff Bader, will introduce President Kaieda. I don't think Jeff Bader needs much of an introduction, since you all well know that he has been a major influence on U.S. policy towards the region through several administrations. Having served for over three decades in the State Department, USDR, and the National Security Council, Jeff Bader was senior director for East Asian Affairs from 2009 to 2011, and in that capacity, he led the U.S. Government's interagency response to a 2011 triple disaster, a major development obviously in Japanese history, a major chapter in U.S.-Japan cooperation.

This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication.

(b) How aircraft monitoring started The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) started to discuss monitoring by aircraft from around March 12 (see Chapter V 1. (2) b. of the Interim Report), and decided to have staff of the Nuclear Safety Technology Center embark on a helicopter of the Self-Defense Forces (SDF) to conduct monitoring, after coordination with the SDF and the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA). As a result, the Ministry of Defense dispatched an SDF helicopter to a sports park in Rokkasho Village, Kamikita County, Aomori Prefecture2, and the helicopter arrived at the park around 13:00 of the same day. However, as the monitoring staff had not arrived at the park yet, the helicopter left the park at around 13:10 that day3. The Nuclear Safety Technology Center 1 The subsequent investigation found that monitoring by monitoring cars by the Fukushima prefectural government from early in the morning of March 12 was conducted with the participation of staff of the Nuclear Emergency Assistance & Training Center (NEAT) of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, who were sent to the Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring Center of Fukushima and arrived early in the morning of the same day, together with employees of the Fukushima prefectural government.

    The DPJ Manifesto 2013 Helping to Protect Lives and Livelihoods The Democratic Party of Japan has taken its first step towards renewal by visiting and talking to local people. Seniors on pensions who are suffering from high prices. Mothers and fathers doing their best to bring up children without any increase in income. Small business owners troubled by soaring raw material costs. Young people working to revitalize their disaster-stricken hometowns. We have listened to quiet and heartfelt voices that have failed to reach the ears of politicians. We will return to our roots, and stand with ordinary citizens and workers. What we are aiming for is a “symbiotic society” suitable for the Japan of this day and age. A strong and accepting society built on mutual coexistence in which each individual has a place and a role to play. We will create jobs, increase incomes and stabilise livelihoods. We will strengthen and enrich the middle class, who are the backbone of our society, and revive the Japanese economy. We will create mutually-supportive and reliable medical care, pensions and long-term care. We will create a dynamic Japan where the lives of individuals are valued above all else. We will expand investment in children, child-rearing, education and people. We will clear the path to Japan’s future by emphasizing the active role of women and putting “children first”. We will make livelihoods, lives and the future key policy pillars. We will take your words and your feelings to heart and continue with reform with the sole aim of “Helping to
