Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aimed to evaluate effects from the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident in March 2011 using environmental indicators and to make educational materials on nuclear power and radiation which are useful in the context of education for sustainable development (ESD). By the estimation of material flow in Fukushima prefecture, radioactive wastes generated from the accident were about 31.7 million ton, exceeding a total material input. For the educational materials, a content analysis of the Japanese government’s supplementary readers on nuclear power and radiation before and after the accident gave evidence of bias towards the promotion of nuclear power. Based on the lessons learned, the author issued an original, alternative supplementary reader on radiation for developing critical thinking ability, a very important competency in ESD.
