Effect of Fukushima accident on public acceptance of nuclear energy (Fukushima accident and nuclear public acceptance)

Energy Sources, Part B: Economics, Planning and Policy, 2017
ABSTRACTSince the Fukushima accident, the Korean public no longer perceives nuclear energy in the same way they used to. However, Korea needs nuclear power to achieve energy security and it is necessary to investigate the effects of the accident in order to improve the public acceptance of nuclear energy.

Nuclear education trends after Fukushima nuclear accident

International Journal of Nuclear Knowledge Management, 2013
Nuclear education has seen many ups and downs since the birth of nuclear technology. Owing to the highest prior support from all stakeholders during 1960s, nuclear education along with its technology witnessed its peak time. But during late 1990s, it was felt that the amount of nuclear knowledge would become sub-critical if no countermeasures were ...

Radiological impact in Korea following the Fukushima nuclear accident

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2012
The pathway and radiological impact of the radioactive plume released at the Fukushima nuclear accident site on the Korean Peninsula has been studied. On March 28, 2011, only (131)I was first observed at all 12 regional monitoring stations in Korea, and the highest activity concentrations in aerosol were 3.12 mBq/m(3) for (131)I at Gunsan, 1.19 mBq/m(3)

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident—An Overview

Health Physics, 2012
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident on 11 March 2011 was a consequence of the 9.0 magnitude Tōhoku earthquake and the following tsunami. A series of ongoing equipment failures in several units of the power plant led to releases of radioactive material into the atmosphere and the seawater.

Examining the Nuclear Accident at Fukushima Daiichi

Elements, 2012
The major nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant more than one year ago was the result of a combination of four inter-related factors: site selection, external hazard assessment and site preparation, the utility's approach to risk management, and fundamental reactor design.

Nuclear Physics in the Aftermath of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident

Nuclear Physics News, 2012
The IAEA's 2011 projection indicates that the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear accident is likely to slow the growth in nuclear power capacity, but not to reverse it. It shows that in the updated estimate on the low side, the world's nuclear power capacity will grow from 375 GW(e) today to 501 GW(e) in 2030, down 8% from what was projected in 2010, while in ...

The Accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011

Health Physics, 2014
A huge earthquake struck the northeast coast of the main island of Japan on 11 March 2011, triggering a tsunami with more than 10-m-high waves hitting the area. The earthquake was followed by numerous sustained aftershocks. The earthquake and aftershocks left almost 16,000 people dead and more than 2,800 missing (as of 11 March 2014).

Nationwide Increase in Cryptorchidism After the Fukushima Nuclear Accident

Urology, 2018
To estimate the change of discharge rate after cryptorchidism surgery between pre- and postdisaster in Japan. Cryptorchidism cannot be diagnosed before birth and is not a factor that would influence a woman's decision to seek an abortion. Therefore, this disease is considered suitable for assessing how the Great East Japan Earthquake and the subsequent

Preliminary analysis of loss-of-coolant accident in Fukushima nuclear accident

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2012
Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) in Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) especially on Fukushima Nuclear Accident will be discussed in this paper. The Tohoku earthquake triggered the shutdown of nuclear power reactors at Fukushima Nuclear Power station. Though shutdown process has been completely performed, cooling process, at much smaller level than in normal ...
