Presenter: Fumon Crystal, Curator of Abyss Observatory,
born in a local city north next to Fukushima prefecture,science teacher in the cram school<Abstract>
The moment magnitude 9.0 earthquake on 11th March 2011, tsunami and thenuclear accident. There are the evacuees over 80 thousand people on 2017.
They come to grips with the reconstruction and decontamination after thedisaster and enjoy their everyday life. There are the dignified smiling people
and the diverse cultures in Fukushima. For the renewal of the agriculture andthe fishery, scientists, engineers, and local medias are collaborated in thescience communication and the public understanding of science on theradiation and the health care from the external and internal exposure based on
the evidence.
This Science Circle session provides the actual cases how to live in the lowdose waiting zones according to the major concepts by ICRP publications,and the reconstruction of the social infrastructures.
Presenter visualized such efforts as evidences of history at "la Médiathèquede la Radioactivité" under consultation by Yan Lauria.
After presentation, presenter will guide you to the Fukushima exhibition at
4,000m Sky of Edu Portal, The Science Circle.

AM SLT[07:45] Dae: my students in RL[07:51] Chantal: Fukushima today https://www.tubantia.nl/buitenland/spookstad-fukushimanederlandse-fotograaf-neemt-kijkje-6-jaar-na-kernramp~va2c17d69/ (note : A video report inFukushima by Bob Thissen from Netherlands.)[07:56] Dae: Fumon and I were chatting yesterday about Cs137. I looked it up and it has a half life of
30 years. To me that means it will take 300 years for the radiation to die down around Fukushima. Is
that true?
[07:57] Dae: I am not sure what are considered safe limits[07:57] Fumon: yes, half-life of Cs-137[07:58] Fumon: ummm, depend on scholar....
(note: Ikuro Anzai, the emeritus professor of Ritsumaikan university: "Cs137 needs 100 years for 1/10

[07:58] Chantal: The floor is yours and Fumon's, Yan ㋡[08:00] Yan: Then, Time to start<Presentation at Epidaurus >[08:01] Fumon: Hello everyone!
[08:01] Yan: Let me talk about background as a manager of Abyss.
[08:01] Yan: Abyss Observatory is an Earth & life science museum of Japan,[08:01] Yan: so how to archive memory of 3.11 Japan Earthquake is important problem for us.
[08:01] Yan: We also exhibit global warming[08:02] Yan: and it was said nuclear energy is major mitigation method of carbon dioxide[08:02] Yan: until Fukushima accident.
[08:02] Chantal: :( Yan3[08:02] Artifacts: Which is a hoax
[08:02] Yan: Fumon’s today's presentation and her new exhibit is one of our answer.
[08:03] Yan: then, please Fumon-san[08:03] Fumon: ty Yan san[08:03] Chantal: Thank you, Yan ㋡[08:03] Fumon: .
Hello Science Circle!
Thank you for coming and offering this SC Session.
For the long term decommissioning of broken reactors after NPP (Nuclear Power Plant)
accident on March 2011,
Big help from the scientists and engineers all over the world is needed.
[08:03] Fumon: .
And for long term decontamination of evacuation zone,
Science communications are needed.
I will report non-exaggerated facts as a neighbor of Fukushima.
Discuss free here, please.
[08:03] Fumon:
In Fukushima, 3 districts weather forecast are announced,
called Hama (seaside), Naka (central), Aizu (west mountain side).
NPP is located in Hama (seaside) district.
[08:04] Fumon:<Google Earth> Fukushima is 3rd largest prefecture in Japan. This calligraphy signboard isput at entrance of Fukushima station.
[08:04] Fumon:<Fukushima Festa> Wild Horse Festa is popular. Tablet PC for evacuees.
[08:05] Fumon: Mayor is from town-wide evacuation zone
[08:05] Artifacts: Nice FX up in the sky!
[08:05] Fumon: :)[08:05] Fumon:<local paper> Branch schools for evacuees. Students other than evacuation zone can take an
examination of these High School now.
[08:06] Fumon: they are very cute
[08:06] Fumon:<local paper> Many top level school chorus clubs in Fukushima.
[08:07] Fumon:<Unit 1> These super science high school students only could go in NPP site as teenager.
<Unit 2> Remote control robots went into PCV (Primary Containment Vessel) for confirming
Fuel Debris.
Scorpion could see Fuel Debris[08:08] Fumon:<UNSCEAR> New white paper on October 2017. However, according to the questionaries by
Fukushima Medical University, 37.6％ citizens are still concerned about "genetic influence",
so we need more science communications in education and media. (UNSCEAR:
http://www.unscear.org/unscear/en/fukushima.html )[08:09] Fumon: We need to say to Fukushima girls "you are no problem" this is the biggest issue now[08:10] Fumon: and... thyroid cancer (甲状腺がん) is the hottest discussion on media now[08:11] Fumon:
4

<Iitate Village (飯舘村)> Popular sight seeing spot now. Strawberry and green been from hothouse cultivation became of the village brand. Beef is the brand too.
<Fukushima Medical University> Ultrasound echo test. No need to concern of Thyroid cancer
in highest dose area.
[08:12] Fumon: red zones are Iitate village and Namie town (浪江町)[08:13] Fumon:<Iitate Village 飯舘村> Popular sight seeing spot now. Strawberry and green been from hothouse cultivation became of the village brand. Beef is the brand too.
weekend traffic jam there now[08:15] Fumon: This building is a new road side station , called " MADEI-KAN (までい館)"[08:16] Fumon: Iitate Village is not so far ....from Fukushima Station.

<Namie Town> A health insurance hospital was built in the temporary housing zone of
Nihonmatsu City.
[08:16] Yan: For Dae's question, extensive decontamination efforts are also executing at contaminatedarea.
[08:17] Fumon: well... removing soils...
[08:17] Dae: good to hear that
[08:18] Fumon: only 381 residents in Namie town now. but new hospital was built in 20175

[08:19] Fumon:<ICRP> ICRP does not ignore unknown effect dose. LNT and ALARA are both important.
under 20mSv/y (*5years=100mSv) does not mean evacuation order being lifted soon. Naraha
town is already reasonable low dose.
(note:note:ICRP: International Commission on Radiological Protection, LNT: Linear NonThreshold. ALARA: as low as reasonably achievable.
ICRP は確率的影響未満の空間線量率を無視してない。避難指示解除の要件（閣議決定）は「空間線量率で推定された年間積算線量が２０ミリシーベルト以下になることが確実であること http://www.kantei.go.jp/saigai/pdf/hinan_youken.pdf 」であるが、避難解除区域は合理的かつ充分に低い空間線量率を達成している。)[08:19] Fumon: a bit difficult concept..
[08:21] Fumon: Jacques Lochard is a French . and he often go to Fukushima for decontamination(note: Jacques Lochard Vice-Chair of ICRP http://www.icrp.org/icrp_group.asp?id=6/ )6

[08:22] Fumon:<Whole Body Counter, WBC> If we eat wild mountain vegetables everyday, WBC may
detect Caesium. Almost all residents buy foods of supermarket, WBC only detected K-40.
[08:23] Fumon: There are so many WBC in Fukushima now[08:23] Fumon: As we know well, Cs-134 has 2 peaks on Spectrum
not so easy to sum[08:26] Dae: Cool Chemistry....Mike must be happy[08:26] Fumon:
We have about 4,000Bq K-40. But Fukushima residents do not ignore low dose of Ceasium.
<Rice> Agriculture population is declining every year, so the reconstruction unions are
established in the local governments.
[08:27] Fumon: Kennedy went to NPP, too[08:28] Fumon:<New Plan 2017> Pass for evacuees or NPP workers is not needed to through expressway
since 2017. Motor bikers also can go there. Two new interchanges will be built in town-wide
evacuation zone. About 3,000 workers come to NPP site everyday.
(note : 福島復興再生特別措置法に基づく特定復興再生拠点区域が該当自治体の議決を経て内閣が承認した。http://www.reconstruction.go.jp/topics/main-cat1/sub-cat14/saiseikyoten/20170913162153.html )[08:28] Chantal: My government last month provided every child in a radius of 200 km of a nuclear
power station with iodine... my son got them too, since Germany has one close to our border.
[08:29] Fumon: yes, I-131[08:29] Fumon: This map is the core project in Japan now[08:29] Dae: We have a reactor in Northern Virginia, but there is no discussion of Iodine tablets. My
son lives in northern VA[08:30] Chantal: :([08:30] Fumon: Futaba(双葉) and Okuma(大熊) are only town-wide evacuation now in 2017[08:30] Dae: I have to go give a test on oceanography to students. Thanks for the presentation so far
Yan and Fumon....I want to learn more
[08:30] Fumon: yes yes, Iodine tablet was the hottest discussion on March 2011 in Fukushima[08:30] Fumon: see you next Dae[08:31] Arianne: bye Dae[08:31] Fumon:<Okuma Town(大熊町)> Town council is located in Aizu castle city now. Rice in Test farm issafe from act on food sanitation and is restricted by act on Nuclear emergency. Wine is thebrand.
[08:33] Fumon: They go to their own test paddy fields every week
[08:33] Fumon: not so easy way[08:33] Fumon:<Route 6> In Okuma town, expandable barricades of houses are put for security. Most
important problem is wild animals (boar, raccoon and rat) now. Police and local government
staffs go on patrol.
[08:35] Fumon: now... about 2 railway station , we wait being lifted now[08:36] Fumon: In Okuma town, oldmen go on patrol
7[08:37] Fumon:<Tomioka Stn. 富岡駅> In autumn, goldenrod grows there and here.
[08:37] Fumon: back to panel for seeing Tomioka Station.
[08:38] Fumon: underside of this panel is the Tomioka Station.
[08:38] Fumon:<Nepal> A comedian, Nasubi climbed the 8,850m summit of Mt.Sagarmāthā. He is a science
communicator in Fukushima.
[08:39] Fumon:<Saltwater Fish> Fukushima fish go to Tokyo fish market auction now. Fishermencooperative wait the restrictions being lifted.
[08:40] Fumon: potassium ( K ) channel of saltwater fish
[08:40] Fumon: So fishermen wait biological half time
[08:41] Fumon: next is the last panel here
[08:41] Fumon:<Aquarium> 54.6km from NPP. Breeding staffs also offer dietary education, because kids do
not want to eat fish with bones.
[08:42] Yan: China and Korea still prohibit to import fishes in Fukushima.
[08:42] Yan: reputational damage is preventing Fukushima's reconstruction[08:43] Vicarious: :/[08:43] Fumon: yes , not only Fukushima. but also near prefecture too[08:44] Fumon: any topic, please[08:44] Fumon: or go to the new museum?
[08:44] Yan: welcome guided tour^^[08:44] Fumon: I see , Yan san:)[08:45] Chantal: Please follow us, to the exhibition la Médiathèque de la Radioactivité

[09:07] Chantal: Gosh Stefano... didn't even hear of it[09:08] Stefano: it is still going on here, no one was punished, the wildlife consequences are still
terrible[09:08] Chantal: :([09:08] Fumon: this article is different topic from the Radiological Accident in Goiânia(note: http://www-pub.iaea.org/books/IAEABooks/3684/The-Radiological-Accident-in-Goinia/
ブラジル国ゴイアニア放射線治療研究所からのセシウム 137 盗難による放射線被ばく事故
http://www.rist.or.jp/atomica/data/dat_detail.php?Title_No=09-03-02-04 )[09:08] Chantal: did you try to activate Greenpeace?
[09:09] Chantal: an email or tweet will be enough, Stefano[09:09] Fumon: off course, We want to hide radiation. so We need to learn ARALA concept of ICRP
[09:10] Arianne: The memory of disaster often goes far way, we need to keep information and I will
worn next generation.
[09:10] Fumon: yes , that's true
[09:10] Chantal: Interesting subject, Arianne[09:10] Stefano: the Goiania incident was very mild, but many of the victims are still in treatment[09:10] Chantal: loss of data
[09:10] Fumon: nods , Stephanos[09:11] Stefano: radiation disasters are generations disasters. they take to long to disappear[09:11] Chantal: check Chernobyl and you know enough[09:11] Fumon: yep[09:12] Stefano: even so, nuclear plants are in general a lot safer[09:12] Arianne: It should be discussed whether we will need nuke plants or not.
[09:12] Fumon: true
[09:12] Yan: Fumon is focusing on Reconstruction. It is effective than simple display of disaster[09:12] Stefano: I agree Yan[09:12] Fumon: and.. a small memorial for Patio , here too[09:13] Arianne: I might be one of political issues , but we should have scientific eyes on it.
[09:13] Mike: I noticed that. very classy :)[09:13] Fumon: :)[09:13] Chantal: they cannot be Stefano... we live on a planet which is alive... storms, earthquakes,
tsunamis etc[09:14] Chantal: and do not forget the people who love to blow themselves up[09:14] Stefano: true
[09:15] Chantal: ❤
[09:15] Chantal: Great work, Fumon!
[09:15] Fumon: ty Chantal[09:15] Stefano: here in Brazil we rely heavily in hydroelectricity[09:15] Chantal: I like that!
[09:15] Chantal: making use of nature in a green way[09:15] Arianne: Terra! Home. I'll go home. And I'll think of some way to get nature back. After all…

tomorrow is another day.
[09:15] Yan: Fumon has changed after 3.11. She becomes active.
[09:16] Fumon: yep. Hanford site has the serious problem yet[09:16] Stefano: not for the wildlife behind the damn.. or the Indian tribes that live there[09:16] Chantal: really? :([09:16] Chantal: gosh
[09:16] Fumon: ahaha[09:16] Stefano: there are always consequences[09:16] Chantal: yes[09:16] Fumon: Yes maybe:)[09:16] Stefano: it is always a trade off decision to make~[09:17] Chantal: yes but damaging earth isn't one of them for me[09:17] Vicarious: cheers to that
[09:17] Fumon: 日本語で：宮城県 うまれ のあたしが 風評被害の元になったら おしまいｗ[09:18] Fumon: そんなのいやだｗ[09:18] Vicarious: but on that note, I think George Carlin said it best. "The earth's not going anywhereWE ARE!"[09:18] Yan: なるほど＾＾[09:18] Arianne: むずかしいところですねー それって[09:18] Stefano: we are only here to make plastic :D <--? plastic?
[09:18] Chantal: Excellent! Vicarious[09:18] Fumon: ですね。課題はたくさんある[09:18] Vicarious: hehe yes!
