Based on the lessons learned from the Fukushima nuclear accident, the ICRP = International Commission on Radiological Protection, which is made up of radiation experts from each country, says that residents need to participate in deciding measures to restore quality of life. We have put together a recommendation to do.
The ICRP, which held an international conference online this month, has recently compiled a recommendation based on the lessons learned from the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which will be 10 years from the outbreak next year.
According to this, it is pointed out that when a large-scale nuclear accident occurs, not only the effects of radiation but also complicated problems such as changes in life due to evacuation, prejudice, and discrimination will occur.
On that basis, in order to restore the quality of life, it is necessary for not only the government and experts but also the residents to participate and think about countermeasures.
For example, he points out that it is important for residents to take the initiative in taking measures, as well as information directly related to daily life, such as creating a dose map of the place where they live and providing equipment for measuring agricultural products to the area. ..
Professor Noriaki Kai of Oita Prefectural University of Nursing Science, who was involved in the recommendation, said, "It is basic to provide scientific information to restore the quality of life. It is desirable to get involved. "
