研究実績の概要 |
Because of the COVID pandemic, I was unable to conduct any field research, or visit to any archives during this year. As a result, my research was limited to obtaining books and articles that could advance my project, and also conducting some discussions with scholars via Zoom. I collected a large amount of research articles on the effects of radiation on living creatures, and the transportation of radionuclides through the ecosystem. I began to assemble these into a database for use in processing my research outcomes once my field research could resume. I also conducted many Zoom dialogues with scholars of nuclear technology and radiological sites in the United States and elsewhere. This helped me to establish a larger research network that could be useful in my project, and alerted me to resources I could obtain online. I obtained annual passes for research databases to further this effort.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
As travel is possible again, and as archives begin to open to public access again, I intend to make several research trips in the next year to gather documents, and to meet with important scholars. I will also begin to collect data from site visits, including oral history interviews.
