Unravelling the Fukushima disaster

The Fukushima disaster continues to appear in national newspapers when there is another leakage of radiation-contaminated water, evacuation designations are changed or major compensation issues arise and so remains far from over.

However, after 5 years, attention and research towards the disaster seems to have waned despite the extent and significance of the disaster that remains.

The aftermath of Fukushima exposed a number of shortcomings in nuclear energy policy and disaster preparedness.

This book gives an account of the municipal responses, citizen's responses and coping attempts, before, during and after the Fukushima crisis.
