Outline of Final Research Achievements

Despite the COVID-19 crisis, I managed to organized a conference. The aim of the conference was to give visibility to Navajo and Polynesian hibakusha. Uranium mining in the US and nuclear testing in Oceania have affected so many communities. Their contamination is too often invisible, overlooked or ignored.
In addition to the conference, I traveled to the Marie Curie Museum, and the ITER fusion facility in France. The two research trips were crucial for me to gather new information for future publication. At the Marie Curie Museum, for example, I came across a lot of archival material about her life and work, and I was able to buy a significant amount of books and DVDs. At ITER, I learned about nuclear fusion and about the international project.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

Giving visibility to other hibakusha is important to continue to raise awareness on the impact that nuclear weapons have had and still have on people and the environment. The conference was online, with English and Japanese translation.
