  • 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.

  • Fukushima Prefecture Fact Sheet
    FUKUSHIMA PREFECTURE FACT SHEET Fukushima Prefecture, an agricultural region on Japan’s coastline, suffered massive losses in the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March of 2011. The disaster caused catastrophic damage to the nuclear power plant located in Fukushima and eventually forced anyone living within 20 km to evacuate their homes. While no longer in the international headlines, the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear crisis continues today and humanitarian needs in Fukushima persist, with many residents still unable to return to their homes more than six months after the disaster. Background Fukushima is the third largest prefecture in Japan, spanning approximately 13,800 km and is located roughly 200 km north of Tokyo. Before the tsunami/earthquake disaster, Fukushima was home to approximately two million people, many of whom lived in the capital, Fukushima City. Based on its diverse climate, ranging from snowy mountains and lush forests, to 159 km of Pacific coastline, Fukushima was a highly productive food source for Japan. Prior to the SENDAI disaster, its Nakadori region was the fourth largest agricultural region in Japan, yielding rice, peaches, apples, pears, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Livestock was also a major export, as well as tobacco and raw silk. Fukushima was also one of the highest yielding TOKYO fishing areas in the country. The Earthquake-Tsunami Disaster Although the epicenter of the earthquake was located off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture to the north, Fukushima was still greatly affected by the earthquake’s force, with parts of Hama-dori region experiencing more than 6.0 magnitude and Fukushima City, in Naka-dori region, measuring more than 5.0.
