Research Abstract |
The original plan of this study was to study 1. the general idea of nuclear damages, 2. nuclear damages and industrial damages, and 3. actions about nuclear damage in the Great Britain. The first point 1. was dealt with in "The Compensation Scheme for Nuclear Accidents in Japan " and the second point 2. was dealt with in "A basic Study on Nuclear Accident Diseases and Compensation". Although the results of these studies were not always sufficient, we could lay a valuable groundwork in this problem. But the third point 3. is still under examination. Mony of accidents were thought to be kept secret, whole research of this subject was very difficult. By the way, "Health Effects Study of Nuclear Industry Workers in Japan ; Summary of the Results of the First Analysis" was held and the Japanese Government of Science and Technology Agency announced this results to the public in 1995. This study, assigned by STA to the Institute of Radiation Epidemiology, Radiation Effects Association, has many problems to be examined for our study. Next step will be taken by the analysis of this research. Now, on March of this year a series of serious accidents, with much nuclear exposure, occurred at the Bituminization Demonstration Facility in Tokai Works of "Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation". To study the problem of this nuclear accidents in detai will be our next theme.
