Educational Activity for the Radiation Emergency System in the Northern Part of Japan: Meeting Report on “The 3rd Educational Symposium on Radiation and Health (ESRAH) by Young Scientists in 2016”
2017
Overview
In the northern part of Japan, close cooperation is essential in preparing for any possible emergency response to radiation accidents because several facilities, such as the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility, the MOX Fuel Fabrication Plant and the Vitrified Waste Storage Center, exist in Rokkasho Village (Aomori Prefecture). After the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011, special attention should be given to the relationship between radiation and human health, as well as establishing a system for managing with a radiation emergency. In the area of Hokkaido and Aomori prefectures in Japan, since 2008 an exchange meeting between Hokkaido University and Hirosaki University has been held every year to have opportunities to discuss radiation effects on human health and to collect the latest news on monitoring environmental radiation. This meeting was elevated to an international meeting in 2014 titled “Educational Symposium on Radiation and Health (ESRAH) by Young Scientists”. The 3rd ESRAH meeting took place in 2016, with the theme “Investigating Radiation Impact on the Environmental and Health”. Here we report the meeting findings on the continuing educational efforts after the Fukushima incident, what was accomplished in terms of building a community educational approaches, and future goals.
