Coming into a decade since the disaster
The Revitalization of Fukushima has been making steady progress. This can be seen in the evacuation order partially being lifted for Futaba Town
and in how preparations are underway for the full opening of the Fukushima Robot Test Field. On the other hand, Fukushima is faced with multiple
challenges and difficulties including the ongoing situation where more than 40,000 people are still under evacuation following the unprecedented
compound disaster, and other disasters such as Typhoon Hagibis have put an additional burden on our revitalization efforts.

The Prefecture is aiming to become one of the healthiest prefectures in Japan by implementing the Fukushima Health Management Survey and Projects for a Long and Healthy LifeThe Fukushima Health Management Survey is being implemented to understand the health of residents, in order to maintain and improve their health into the future.

◆Basic Survey◆Thyroid Ultrasound Examination

Self-administered questionnaires: 27.7%[568,331 respondents/2,055,248 subjects]＜Results of estimate on external exposure dose＞【All citizens surveyed】
Ratio of dose from 0 to 2mSv accounts for 93.8% of all.
※Estimate of external exposure dose for the 4 months from thenuclear accident (March-July2011)

Citizens aged 18 or younger at the time of thedisaster (About 380,000 persons)※Primary Examination （April 2011 - March 2014）
Full-scale Examination （April 2014 - present）
Primary Examination: Ultrasound Examination
Secondary examination: Thorough thyroid ultrasoundexamination and blood testing

The Projects for a Long and Healthy Life will try to respond to various health issues caused by changing environments after the disaster.
 Encouraging healthy thinking among residents.

 Educating the next generation through childhealth promotion programs.

The easy to use and fun "Fukushima
Healthy App" helps residents toacquire a healthier lifestyle
Promotion movie: Start making ahealthy life Health promotion that starts from a healthy diet.
 Protection from second-hand smoke.
 Improving consultation rate of health check ups

The current decommissioning status of TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi (F1) and Daini (F2) Nuclear Power Stations (NPS) and disposal of tritiated water◆ About the tritium containing treated water・ The generation of contaminated water was
reduced from approx. 540m³/day (May. 2014) toapprox. 170m³ (average in FY2018) by the
implementation of a multi-layered approach
including: pumping up groundwater by Subdrain
and installing the Land-side frozen soil wall.
However, the treated water which is created bypurifying the contaminated water is being
generated continuously. Therefore, the tanks
expected to reach full capacity in summer 2022,
and appropriate space to install additional tanks islimited.

According to a report by the Subcommittee on Handling of the ALPS Treated
Water, two methods were proposed: ① Discharge into the Sea ②Vaporization
into the atmosphere. Prevention of reputational damage was also considered.
（Source: The Subcommittee on Handling of the ALPS Treated Water Report 10 Feb. 2020 ）【Challenges】
 Trouble resulting from reactor decommissioning would have a large effect on therevitalization of areas where evacuation orders have been lifted and effect the returnof evacuees. So, it is necessary to have continuous surveillance carried out by the
Association for monitoring of safety in decommissioning to ensure decommissioning
progresses steadily and safely.
 The Prefecture has the following three requests to the national government andTEPCO in regards to the disposal of treated water containing tritium:①Discuss substantially about the effects on the environment and damage to theprefecture’s reputation②Consider the method with a careful and accurate explanation to the public.
③Provide accurate information about Tritium and measures to dispel harmful rumors.

Completing decommissioning of all the reactors will take more than 40 years due to thedecommissioning of F1NPS at the same time.
