Electricity; Rolling blackoutSeveral nuclear and coal‐fired power plants went offline after the earthquake. Rolling blackout of TEPCO for 2 weeks from March, 11, 2011.Nuclear power plants gradually went off line for periodic inspection and failed to obtain approval of restart from the local government. (42 units off line among 53 in Japan in October 2011)Demand control will  continue  in the coming winter in TEPCO, Kansai and Tohoku EP.Oil and gas import increases and electricity bill will increase.

Socio‐economic impact of the Chernobyl nuclear accident(Chernobyl forum report 2003‐2005); Should be minimized in Fukushima

• Resettlement and limitations on agricultural production have a negative impact on the economy of the affected regions. (330,000 people relocated, 116,000 of them evacuated immediately.)

• Resettlement was  a deeply traumatic experience.  Many are unemployed and have little control over their own lives. Some older resettlers may never adjust.

• A large proportion of skilled, educated and entrepreneurial people have also left the region, hampering the chances for economic recovery and raising the risk of poverty. The percentage of elderly individuals is abnormally high. 

• The largest impact on individuals is “the mental health impact.” Psychological distress and its aftermath has had a profound impact on individual and community behavior. Associated with these perceptions is an exaggerated sense of the dangers to health of exposure to radiation.

• Anxiety over the effects of radiation on health shows no sign of diminishing. Indeed, it may even be spreading beyond the affected areas into a wide section of the population. Parents may be transferring their anxiety to their children through excessively protective care.

• A sense of victimization and dependency created by government social protection policies is widespread in the affected areas.

Health effect of low level radiation• Acute health effect 

occurs above threshold dose.

• No acute health effect observed at Fukushima including TEPCO workers.

• Latent health effect is not observed at low dose, below 100mSv.

• Assumed no threshold linear hypothesis; Source of fear of radiation and big socio‐economic problems.

• Latent effect will be studied for long period, but maybe and hopefully no latent effect will be observed in Fukushima because of the successful evacuation.

• It is difficult to clarify the health effect of human being at low dose from the present science. 16

What’s necessary

• Decontamination and economic restoration of Fukushima prefecture

• Improvement of regulatory system• Design improvement coping with core meltdown accident and mitigating its environmental effects

• Comparative study of health effects at low dose of various risks such as radiation, chemical products, etc. in collaboration of international organizations 

• Separation of regulation and promotion• Share of lessons learned in the world• Never, ever again anywhere in the world

Primary energy source (summary)• Energy is essential to life and activities of mankind.• Energy demand will grow with the development of countries in the 

21st century.• Energy security is important for the security of the nation.• Wars, battles for oils and gas occurred and occurring in the world. 

Ex. 2nd world war, Middle east, Africa. (No war after 2nd world war in east Asia is the reason of its economic development.) 

• Oil, gas, and coal are major source of energy after industrial revolution. Even France it is 56% of primary energy.

• Japan and Korea heavily depend on imported primary energy source.

• Oil import from middle east increase again in Japan. May suffer “double‐punches” from increase of oil price and decrease of yen (exchange rate) in the future.

Summary

• Very sorry for Fukushima accident.• Protect/prepare against natural disasters.• Fukushima NPPs are going to be stabilized.• Decontamination and economic restoration of Fukushima prefecture are the most important in Japan.

• Prevent socio‐ psychological effect of low level radiation.

Page 44: Natural Disasters and Energy111024submitted€¦ · Natural Disasters and Energy: ... • Displaced people by Tsunami: over 300,000 • Evacuated residents within 20km of Fukushima

• Oil, gas and coal are major primary energy for 250 years. It will not change soon.

• Global warming is the challenge in 21st century.• Improvement and development of advanced power technologies as well as energy savings and improvement of efficiencies are important for meeting the challenges. 

• Nuclear power will/should play its role.
