Evacuation Behaviors

The aim of this study is to clarify the evacuation behaviors of the local residents in a small rural community called “T” district in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture at the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) on March 11th, 2011 and how their personal relationship changed subsequently. This district suffered more impact from the nuclear disaster caused by Tokyo Electrical Power Company Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (TEPCO-1F NPS) accident than from the earthquake itself: a split in the community arising from the residents’ various evacuation behaviors and disagreement in their attitudes toward radioactivity. For example, a serious conflict occurred between those who returned from out-of–district evacuation (“escapees”) and those who consistently stayed within the district (“non-escapees”). However, on the other hand, as a way to maintain their community functions, there was an attempt made by the returnees inside the community in order to temper the conflict and another attempt provided from outside of the community such as the re-start of university student experience program which had been carried out by the local residents before the GEJE. Now that nearly 6 years have passed since the occurrence of the GEJE, the community conflict is becoming less obvious but not yet completely solved.

Policy Direction

This study examines the performance of Japanese electric power companies from 2003 to 2020. We use an observed data set from 2003 to 2015 and a forecasted data set from 2016 to 2020. The Japanese deregulation of the industry needs to be completed by April 2020. As a method, this study uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) environmental assessment, which measures performance from a holistic perspective. This research adds a new analytical capability to the DEA-based assessment by including an analytical ability to handle an “imprecise” data set. We apply the proposed approach to investigate the performance of these companies before and after the disaster of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (11 March 2011). All electric power companies have suffered from business damage due to the nuclear disaster. The Japanese government has developed a policy scheme on how to recover from the huge handling costs resulting from the disaster. Nuclear energy has been long considered the most useful approach to handle climate change. However, many industrial nations have changed policy direction since the nuclear disaster. The Japanese government allocates the costs to not only Tokyo Electric Power Company, which produced the nuclear disaster, but also the other incumbent electric power companies that own nuclear power plants. Under the current Japanese scheme, financial conditions have been gradually recovering from the damage due to the managerial efforts and by indirectly allocating the expenditure to consumers and tax payers.

Basic Concepts

This study was base on the welding stress of recirculation pipe at Taiwan Power Company (TPC) which was the first nuclear power station (Chin-Shan) in Taiwan. Technicians or field engineers needed to understand the basic concepts of welding. When using internet processing system, the calculation time for obtaining the required data from the analysis of weld overlay stress had been reduced. Through the connection of internet and server the users entered the welding data from tables to the system, the analysis reports of the weld overlay stress were obtained in a few minutes. Moreover, the reliability in the analysis reports of the weld stress was examined and verified. Therefore, in the study the analysis process and programs developed were able to provide an accurate, simple, and fast analysis results and reports to users. Also, the weld analysis in a recirculation piping system was able to be used in the environmental evaluations.
