This book is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This
book summarizes presentations and discussions from the two-day
international workshop held at UC Berkeley in March 2015, and
derives questions to be addressed in multi-disciplinary research
toward a new paradigm of nuclear safety. The consequences of the
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in March 2011 have fuelled the
debate on nuclear safety: while there were no casualties due to
radiation, there was substantial damage to local communities. The
lack of common understanding of the basics of environmental and
radiological sciences has made it difficult for stakeholders to
develop effective strategies to accelerate recovery, and this is
compounded by a lack of effective decision-making due to the eroded
public trust in the government and operators. Recognizing that
making a society resilient and achieving higher levels of safety
relies on public participation in and feedback on decision-making,
the book focuses on risk perception and mitigation in its
discussion of the development of resilient communities.
