Outline of Final Research Achievements

A map of agricultural land pollution is a source document for policy creation, and can be practically applied to a cross section of fields related to evacuation instructions and rescinding, decontamination, and agricultural countermeasures. A map depicting the visualization of radiation levels in the sphere of daily existence could also be used by local residents as a resource for choosing methods for decreasing external exposures in their daily lives. In order to conduct a factual investigation, it is important that (1) the Recovery Office manages the investigation comprehensively, (2) the investigation be made according to the level of damage incurred in an area, (3) the government reacts more quickly to respond to the level of damage, (4) the government maintains the budget by adopting simple techniques for restraining expenses and (5) the Recovery Office utilizes the maximum amount of power held by the government, research institutions, local people, and private businesses.
