Long-term mental health crisis among municipal public employees caused by the Fukushima nuclear accident and subsequent disasters: Questionnaire survey 10 years postdisaster. [PDF]

PCN Rep
The results of this study showed that the psychological burden on MPEs was particularly severe after the nuclear accident and subsequent disasters. We summarized five common risk factors in all disasters and seven additional risk factors in cases of nuclear accidents that cause severe psychological stress in MPEs.

Seismic response prediction using intensity measures: Graphite nuclear reactor core model case study

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 1992-2018, November 2023., 2023
Seismic response analyses of structures have conventionally used the peak ground acceleration or spectral acceleration as an intensity measure to estimate the engineering demand parameters. An extensive shaking table test program was carried out on a quarter‐sized advanced gas‐cooled reactor (AGR) core model to investigate the global dynamic behavior ...

Reconstruction and resilience after Fukushima: A critical analysis of nuclear risk and disaster

Japanese Journal of Sociology, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 25-44, March 2023., 2023
Abstract This article revisits the concept of reconstruction in light of the Fukushima nuclear accident on March 11, 2011. It also offers an analysis of the reconstruction policy launched by the Japanese authorities in the context of the risk due to low‐dose radiation. What does reconstruction mean after this nuclear disaster?
