At the ICRP International Conference on Recovery After Nuclear Accidents Session 3.4 Forum on the Transmission of Experience held in December 2020, a panel discussion took place on the topic, ‘How to overcome the difficulty to talk about the experience of nuclear accidents?’. The facilitator was Ryoko Ando (NPO Fukushima Dialogue) and the following six people participated as panelists: Atsushi Chiba (teacher at Fukushima Prefectural Asaka High School), Yoshiko Aoki (NPO Group of Storytellers About 311 in Tomioka), Miku Endo (Great East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Memorial Museum), Kenji Shiga (former Director of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum), Thierry Schneider (Centre d’étude sur l’Evaluation de la Protection dans le domaine Nucléaire), and Noboru Takamura (Director of Great East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Memorial Museum, Nagasaki University).

A Geometry Teaching Institute, sponsored by The School of Education with the cooperation of the Department of Mathematics was hold at the University of Michigan on Saturday, January 13, 1951. An audience and panel discussion included brief reports from Josephine Montague of Central Michigan College of Education, Dorothy Noyes of Ann Arbor High School, Clara. Mueller of Cass Technical Iligh School in Detroit, Howard F. Beatty of Saginaw High School and Harold Fawcett of Ohio State University. Discussion and laboratory groups met in the morning and afternoon and were led by Russell Schneider of Lansing Eastern High School, Donald Marshall of Dearborn High School, Norman Anning of the University of Michigan, Gertrude Pratt of Central Michigan College of Education, Kenneth Leisenring of the University of Michigan and Lauren Woodby of the University High School. The principal address was delivered in the afternoon by Professor Fawcett and was entitled “The Interplay of Induction and Deduction in the Teaching of Geometry.”

Scale Experiment

Purpose This paper aims to present a preliminary experimental result on a large-scale experiment on a cyber-physical hybrid discussion support environment in a panel discussion session in an international conference. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the authors propose a hybrid (cyber-physical) environment in which people can discuss online and also offline simultaneously. The authors conducted a large-scale experiment in a panel discussion session in an international conference where participants can discuss by using their online discussion support system and by physical communications as usual. Findings The authors analyzed the obtained date from the following three viewpoints: participants’ cyber-physical attention, keywords cyber-physical linkage and cyber-physical discussion flow. These three viewpoints indicate that the methodology of the authors can be effective to support hybrid large-scale discussions. Originality/value Online large-scale discussion has been focused as a new methodology that enable people to discuss, argue and make consensus in terms of political issues, social complex problems (like climate change), city planning and so on. In several cases, the authors found that online discussions are very effective to gather people opinions and discussions so far. Moreover, this paper proposes a hybrid (cyber-physical) environment in which people can discuss online and also offline simultaneously.

Fukushima Daiichi

Ten years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake and the subsequent accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (NPP) that occurred on March 11, 2011. The earthquake and tsunami caused significant loss of lives and widespread disaster in Japan. Several reports have been published on the nuclear accident; however, the original data released at the beginning of the accident were written in Japanese, and some of these documents are no longer accessible. Some of the scenarios pertaining to the accident have become standardized theories, and these scenarios may be passed down to future generations with different descriptions, which may not fully describe the actual occurrences. To prevent future nuclear accidents, the accident at Fukushima Daiichi must be properly understood and analyzed.

Fukushima Disaster

Purpose – Japan's 2011 natural disasters were accompanied by a devastating nuclear disaster in Fukushima. This paper used cross-country data obtained immediately after the Japanese disaster to explore how, and the extent to which, corruption affects the perception of citizens regarding the risk of nuclear accidents. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – Endogeneity bias was controlled for using instrumental variables when the author conducted regression estimation. Findings – The cross-country analysis showed that citizens in less corrupt countries tend to perceive there to be a lower possibility of nuclear accident. Originality/value – The finding made it evident that transparency of government enables citizens to access accurate information, reducing information asymmetry between citizens and government.
