Outline of Final Research Achievements

I have systematically and comprehensively collected publicly available digital data on the historical development of the arguments for and against the social use of nuclear energy and have undertaken the task of digitizing published materials to make them available for full-text search. Based on these efforts, I have provided a comprehensive introduction to the various materials and documents related to the arguments for and against the social use of nuclear energy throughout the 20th century in the journal "Gijutsusi"(History of Technology) published by The History of Science Society Japan, History of Technology Division. Additionally, I have published critical analyses of these debates and a guide to the materials on the website (https://sano-atom.bulog.jp/).
