Outline of Final Research Achievements

East area of Honshu was polluted by radioactive matter caused by the accident at TEPCO’s Fukushima 1 Nuclear Power Plant. National Government enacted the Act on Special Measures concerning the Handling of Radioactive Pollution in 2012.
This study was focusing the methods and standards of decontamination and the cost burdens on every city. The conclusions were below. Some cities have adopted the “extra decontamination” beyond the Act. The polluter TEPCO doesn’t burden the cost with “extra decontamination”in some case.
This study analyzed the flow of remedy cost.
