Outline of Final Research Achievements

I analyzed the history of Japan’s nuclear energy development and various changes from its dawn in 1950s continuing up to the present day after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of March 11, 2011 based on Dr. Hideki Yukawa's historical documents. As a result, I clarified the structural causal relationship regarding how "Genshiryoku-mura (nuclear village)" was formed and made a family tree or phyletic speciation. In addition, about the structure of collusive relationship of the "Genshiryoku-mura", I discovered the prototypical model from a historical document and discussed the significance. Furthermore, I found basic requirements how to get over the dichotomy between promotion and opposition of the nuclear power generation through information exchange, the information sharing and lots of dialogues with the anti-nuclear power generation group.
