10 What happened in Fukushima? Extraordinary large external event Earthquake (Magnitude 9.0), Tsunami (20m) Station blackout > Core melt down EPZ (Emergency Preparation Zone) 2km radius > 5km > 10km > 20km : 1-2 days Off-Site Center (Substantial Center) Government + Local G. + NPP + Media The distance, around 5km Earthquake, Tsunami > damage Radiation plume, High radiation dose > can t use Move to Fukushima prefectural capital (100km)

11 What happened in Fukushima? Reactor Coolant supply, Emergency workers (Dose limit) Firemen, soldier etc. Environment Emergency monitoring, Huge number of data, Information sharing, Straggle between organization Inhabitants Delivery of information, Iodine pill application, Collection of corpses, Domestic animals and house pets Mass media and general public Bashing and sensational, > impact to the Cabinet, NISA, MEXT, NSC, Local Gov.

12 What happened in Fukushima? Early stage countermeasure Too much insist of 100mSv Food control Middle period countermeasure Too much insist of 20mSv Decontamination (>Cleanup) of environment Food control Long term countermeasure Risk communication, Children s problem, Compensation of the disasters Environment, forest, farmland reform Rebuilding of the safety department Joining of NISA, NSC and others Positioning of the Nuclear Power Plants in electric supply

13 A state of confusion after the accident Event Sheltering and Evacuation Termination of the Declaration of Emergency Food and Drink Control Reasons Future step is unclear, even a week later Engagement of the Government, awkward Role of the local Government, awkward Termination procedure is unclear Permitted level of food?, Reasonability? Flexibility? pollution level for planting soil pollution of seawater for marine products Influence on public health Accurate dose estimation of residents Uncertainty of low dose health effect to man 19 October ENELA

14 Details Dose Limitation for Emergency Workers Japanese regulation; 100 msv Submitted a question of limitation change from 100 to 250 msv to Radiation Protection Board for deliberation. (March 14). Approved in a shot time (2hours) by NRC. On March 26, Industrial Minister declared a new vale of 250 msv for emergency worker s dose limit.

15 Setting of Evacuation Area Details Application of 20 msv/year Planned evacuation area: Lower value among msv/y reference level at emergency exposure situation by ICRP Pub. 103 (2007 recommendation). On the other hand, same 20 ms/y was applied as a guide for use of school ground, which was an upper value of reference level of 1-20 msv/y in an existing exposure situation

16 Prediction of Radionuclide Diffusion at a Nuclear Emergency Details Worse Use of System for Prediction of Environmental Emergency Dose Information(SPEEDI) The hard case to determine the source term of radionuclide release No use of SPEEDI result to use an emergency countermeasure for the dose reduction of refugee exposure Information opening to the public by foreign organizations Weather authorities or nuclear authorities, in Germany, UK, France, Austria etc. Deposition of I-131 (00:00, March 25, 2011)

17 Processing and Disposal of Wastes after the Disaster Details --Tentative guidance By Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) June µsv/y, for recycle and reuse goods 1 msv/y, workers for collecting, transportation and storage. 1 msv/y, workers for waste processing Disposal facility, dose for surrounding residents after the facility closure 10 µsv/y on basic scenario 0.3 msv/y on variation scenario Basic concept Policy on the disaster waste treatment in Fukushima Prefecture, by Environment Ministry, June 23, 2011 Presupposition: Guarantee of the Safety of workers and surrounding residents for the operation of incineration plants and final disposal facilities If in case of no satisfaction of the guidance by NSC: After taking an appropriate temporal storage, the regulatory authority should immediately investigate a safety disposal measure

18 Control of Contaminated Foods and Drinks Details Intervention Level on the Intake Limitation of Foods and Drinks Pile of returned Spinach to Scrap (Tokyo Central Wholesale Market, March 23) + Thyroid Equivalent Dose by Radio-Iodine: 50 msv Specific iodine deposition to thyroid + Effective Dose by Radio-Cesium: 5 msv ICRP Pub. 40(1984) Committed Dose (msv/y) Effective Dose Equivalent Dose (Each Organ) Upper Dose Level Lower Dose Level 5 50

19 Food contamination Other material contamination

20 Radiation level judgment on the use of school buildings and grounds in Fukushima Prefecture Details -Application of 1-20 msv/year (Ministry of Education notification on April 19) Based on ICRP Publ.109 (exposure situation in the emergency) CRP Publ.109 (Emergency Exposure Situation) Application of Reference level (lower value of 20 msv/year) Changed to Publ.103 (Reference level on a Restoration, upper value of 20 in 1-20 msv/y) Regular ground use is possible below 3.8μSv/h. (Derived from 20mSv/y including occupancy factor)

21 Early stage clean- up (or decontamination)

22 Disaster prevention 19 October 2011 ENELA 19

23 Countermeasure 1 Sheltering h 2 Sheltering to concrete building 3 Evacuation 4 Application of stable iodine 5 Control of drinking water, milk and food 6 Restriction of entry

24 Monitoring support in case of Emergency Evacuation >50mSv Sheltering >10mSv Monitoring car Survey meters Image of countermeasure area

25 Range of priority area for nuclear disaster Old : Guideline for Nuclear Disaster EPZ : Emergency Planning Zone NPP: 8 10 km Reprocessing P. : 500 m PAZ New : Guideline for Nuclear Disaster CM PAZ : Precautionary Action Zone NPP : about 5 km UPZ : Urgent Protective action Planning Zone NPP : about 30 km Reprocessing P. : about 5 km UPZ About 5 km About 30 km Sea PPA : Plume Protection Planning Area About 50 km NPP : about 50 km (reference value)
