Fukushima 5 Years Anniversary

Fukushima accident - 5 years already !

11 March 2016 marks the 5th anniversary of the triple catastrophe which marked the life of many residents of the Tohoku area of Eastern Japan:  a magnitude 9 earthquake off the east coast of Japan, which generated a tsunami that severely damaged areas along the coast and resulted in 15 891 deaths and 2579 missing people and the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear accident (an accident of magnitude 7 - the highsest - on the international scale of nuclear accidents).

The CREAL SHAMISEN project aims to draw the lessons from the Fukushima accident and other major nuclear accidents around the world in order to make recommendations for immediate and long-term response to radiation accidents, aiming in particular to respond to the needs of affected populations while minimising unnecessary anxiety.
