1 Future Vision of Fukushima 12 Municipalities Shintaro Matsumoto Reconstruction Agency Jan, 2015 * This Presentation contains my personal opinion as an administrative officer, does not necessarily represent the views of my belonging organization.

2 Fact 1: Lifted the Evacuation Orders by Nuclear Accident Kawamata Town Iitate Village Tamura City (Fm 2014/4/1) Kawauchi Village (Fm 2014/10/1) Katsurao Village Minamisoma City Namie Town Okuma Town Futaba Town Tomioka Town Naraha Town Hirono Town Fukushima Dai-ichi NPS Fukushima Dai-ni NPS 20km Legend Areas where it is expected that residents will face difficulties in returning for a long time Areas in which residents are not permitted to live Areas to which evacuation orders are ready to be lifted Areas to which evacuation orders were lifted (Note) The date in the parentheses indicates when orders were lifted. 1

3 Three Conditions to Lift the Evacuation Orders 1. The cumulative dose estimated from the air dose rate is no more than 20mSv per year 2. Situations before the evacuation order is lifted Almost all infrastructures as well as living-related and personal services have been restored Decontamination operations for children s living environments and other areas have progressed satisfactorily 3. Satisfactory discussions have been completed among the prefectural and municipal governments and residents 2

4 Fact 2: Air Dose Rate Change One Month after the Accident (2011/04/29) 30 Months after the Accident (2013/09/28) Fukushima Daiich NPS Fukushima Daiich NPS Legend Air Dose Rate 1m above the Ground Surface (μsv/h) Areas where measurement data were not obtained yet (Note) Air dose rates due to natural nuclear species are included in this map (Source) The Secretariat of the Nuclear Regulation Authority 3

5 Fact 3: Agriculture and Industry around These Areas Rice Harvest in HIRONO Town Demonstrated Cultivation in Tomioka Town Demonstrated Cultivation in NAMIE Town NAMIE Rice in the Dining Hall in MoE 4

6 100% Inspection of Rice Bags In the whole area of Fukushima Prefecture, the 100% inspection of rice bags has been conducted Measures were performed to cultivate agricultural areas with reverse tillage to decontaminate them, and to treat them with potassium fertilizer to inhibit the absorption of radioactive substances by rice 100% Inspection of Rice Bags Result of 100% Inspection of Rice Produced in Fukushima Prefecture in 2013 Potassium Fertilization Measure to Inhibit the Absorption of Radioactive Cesium by Rice In a case where the density of potassium in soli is appropriate Potassium fertilization K K Cs K K Cs K K Cs K K By the fertilization, the absorption of radioactive cesium by rice will be inhibited # of Inspected Rice Bags (10,000) 1,100 1, ,937,523 The number of inspected rice bags is 10,944,848 (as of March 20, 2014) 6, < 未満 25 25~50 to 50 50~75 to 75~100 to 100< >100 Density of Radioactive Cesium in Brown Rice (Bq/kg) 5

7 Efforts to Secure Food Safety Japan has established one of the most stringent reference values in the world, and has been conducting detailed inspections (more than 700,000 inspections so far) If foods exceed the reference values, they are to be restricted from shipment, and shall not be sold in market Foods from Tohoku are safe and secure <Reference Values for the Densities of Radioactive Cesium Contained in Foods> [Unit: Bq/kg] Japan (Since April 2012) Codex Alimentarius Commission EU (Foods Circulated Regionally) Drinking Water Milk Common Foods Baby Foods USA (Source) Codex General Standard for Contaminants and Toxins in Food and Feed (CODEX STAN ) Council Regulation (EURATOM) 2007/0103 (CNS) CPG Sec Radionuclides in Imported Foods - Levels of Concern 6

8 Reviving and Reconstructing Fukushima Efforts to Revive Industries The Subsidy to Establish New Business Facilities to Revive Industries in Fukushima, which aims to newly establish business facilities and create jobs, has resulted in new investments of about 410 billion yen and new jobs for about 4,800 people (As of November 2014) <Representative Cases to Which the Subsidy to Establish New Business Facilities to Revive Industries in Fukushima was Applied> Schoolbag Manufacturing Aizuwakamatsu Paper & Pulp Manufacturing Fukushima New Electrical Instrument Manufacturing Koriyama New New Aizu Processed Paper Manufacturing Date Solar Panel Parts Manufacturing Sukagawa North Central Minamiaizu 119 South Expansion Sousou Iwaki Automobile Parts Manufacturing Tamura Manufacturing 増 Raw Materials for Medicines 設 Hirono Textile & Chemical Industries, etc (Source) Fukushima Prefecture (The above figures in circles are numbers of cases adopted for the Subsidy to Establish New Business Facilities to Revive Industries in Fukushima) 73 New 47 Iwaki Expansion Expansion Expansion <Status of Newly Established or Expanded Factories in Fukushima Prefecture> (Note) Factories with Site Areas Larger than 1,000m 2 (75) (23) Expansion New (42) (52) (102) (102)

10 Grants for Accelerating the Revitalization of Fukushima Budget amount: 160 billion yen (Supplementary Budget for FY2013: 51.2, Budget for FY2014: ) Ensuring living spaces Developing out-of-town communities(public housing for revitalization) Building up bases for town reconstruction (Developing public rented housing for persons who desire to return home or newly move into Developing bases for reconstruction inside and outside the town and forming communities Taking measures for health management and concerns about health and establishing social welfare facilities Distributing personal dosimeters, and collecting and analyzing data on dose Assigning consultants on radiation, health and life Developing nursing care facilities, child welfare facilities, etc. Improving living environments Improving detailed living environments in order to deduce the effects of the dose of radiation and to address concerns about radiation (making flowerbeds, covering road side ditches and installing shields) Ensuring safe domestic water (providing simple water-supply system, drill of wells) Constructing all-weather fitness facilities Making flowerbeds (shield of radiation) Constructing all-weather fitness facilities Distribution of personal dosimeters Development of nursing care facilities Assignment of consultants Environmental improvements for restarting agriculture, forestry and fisheries and commerce and industry Developing production bases for farmland and agricultural facilities and improving living environments Developing industry parks and business facilities Farmland development Reconstruction of industry parks Ensuring domestic water 9

11 Reviving and Reconstructing Fukushima 10 Hometown Fukushima Revival Project For former residents who evacuated from their homes because of the nuclear accident caused by the earthquake, efforts have been made to construct housing, to provide support for their new life, to provide health support, and to promote acquaintance among residents. Renewing Playground Equipment Maintaining Exercise Facilities About 500 sites Reconstruction Public Housing (in Progress) About 2,600 houses/50,00 houses Project to Promote Acquaintance among Evacuees Periodic Dispatch of Doctors etc. About 180 projects contracted Exercise Facilities (Playground) Reconstruction Public Housing (Image) Events to Promote Acquaintance among Evacuees

12 Efforts for Risk Communication Communicate Precise and Easy-to-Understand Information 〇 Publish and update Basic Information on Radiation Risk Publish journals for risk communication unique to specific regions, and so on 2. Small Group (One-to-One, Sitting in a Circle) Discussions to Enhance Risk Communication 〇 Small group discussions, etc. Home visits by local public health nurses etc. 3. Train and Strengthen Professional Human Resources Who are Devoted to Specific Regions 〇 Dispatch professionals based on agreements between universities and municipal governments 〇 Train human resources for risk communication at Fukushima Medical University 4. Improve Risk Communication through Consultants Who Closely Support Residents 〇 Deploy consultants (public health nurses, registered nurses, childcare workers) closely supporting residents who have decided to return home 〇 Establish centers to support consultants activities (information network buildup for professionals, etc.) (Basic Information) (Agreement between Nagasaki University and Kawauchi Village)
