“…In Chernobyl, as in Fukushima, experts shared one dominant idea from the outset: long-term evacuation could not be the favored solution to minimising the risks of radioactive exposure in case of severe accidents. It is not that evacuation is necessarily ill-suited to addressing an immediate danger, but the psychological and social hazards accruing from permanently uprooting people and severing their social ties amplifies the health concerns and economic disruption of the displaced (Tanigawa et al, 2017). Instead, experts have come to promote an "innovative approach" to nuclear accident response, as developed under the ETHOS program (Lochard et al, 2019).…”

“…Taking advantage of these experiences, the International Commission on Radiological Protection and the non-governmental organisation ‘Radiation Safety Forum Japan’ took the initiative to organise a series of dialogue meetings with all concerned parties in Fukushima Prefecture to identify the problems and challenges of the rehabilitation of living conditions in the long-term affected territories. Twelve dialogue seminars were organised in Japan between 2011 and 2015 (ICRP, 2011; Tanigawa et al., 2016), each of which focused on a specific topic such as foodstuff controls, the role of measurements, education of children, value of tradition and culture, etc.…”

The role of experts in postaccident recovery: lessons learnt from Chernobyl and Fukushima

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Following a nuclear accident, a major dilemma for affected people is whether to stay or leave the affected area, or, for those who have been evacuated, whether or not to return to the decontaminated zones. Populations who have to make such decisions have to consider many parameters, one of which is the radiological situation. Feedback from Chernobyl and Fukushima has demonstrated that involvement and empowerment of the affected population is a way to provide them with the necessary elements to make informed decisions and, if they decide to return to decontaminated areas, to minimise exposure by contributing to the development of a prudent attitude and vigilance towards exposure. However, involving stakeholders in postaccident management raises the question of the role of experts and public authorities in supporting the inhabitants who have to make decisions about their future. Based on experiences in Chernobyl and Fukushima, this paper will discuss various principles that have to be taken into account by experts and public authorities about their role and position when dealing with stakeholders in a postaccident recovery process.

“…Since December 2012, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Fukushima Medical University (FMU) have concluded Practical Arrangements on collaborative cooperation. The IAEA and FMU have been holding international meetings several times a year and prepared publications on medical education addressing various issues related to nuclear emergencies, including socio-scientific and technological issues, communication, and education in the setting of low radiation doses 1 - 4) . Domestic and international researchers have been involved and shared the findings of the Fukushima Health Management Survey 5) as well as updates on the current situation in Fukushima.…”

This paper reports on the IAEA's Consultancy Meeting on "lowdose radiation for patients and population -Science, Technology and Society (STS) concepts for communication and perception among medical doctors and stakeholders-", which was held on October 21 and 22, 2020. The meeting consisted of seven presentation sessions, with a total of 27 presentations and 39 participants from seven countries. The meeting focused on various areas including environmental, food, and personal dosimetry ; radiation and other secondary health effects after nuclear disasters ; communication between medical professionals and patients or residents ; and medical education on nuclear accidents. This meeting was convened to discuss STS perspectives related to nuclear emergencies, to share the findings of the Fukushima Health Management Survey and the current situation in Fukushima with international experts. The meeting confirmed the importance of coordinated recovery of affected areas and global preparedness in the aftermath of nuclear accidents.
