The Fukushima disaster continues to appear in national newspapers
when there is another leakage of radiation-contaminated water,
evacuation designations are changed, or major compensation issues
arise and so remains far from over. However, after five years,
attention and research towards the disaster seems to have waned
despite the extent and significance of the disaster that remains.
The aftermath of Fukushima exposed a number of shortcomings in
nuclear energy policy and disaster preparedness. This book gives an
account of the municipal responses, citizen's responses, and coping
attempts, before, during, and after the Fukushima crisis. It
focuses on the background of the Fukushima disaster, from the
Tohoku earthquake to diffusion on radioactive material and risk
miscommunication. It explores the processes and politics of
radiation contamination, and the conditions and challenges that the
disaster evacuees have faced, reflecting on the evacuation process,
evacuation zoning, and hope in a post-Fukushima environment. The
book will be of great interest to students and scholars of disaster
management studies and nuclear policy.
