Abstract

At Osaka University there are 18 facilities of various sizes that utilize radiation generators and radioisotopes. If a disaster such as a major earthquake were to take place that hit these facilities, it is stipulated in the school bylaws’ manual for handling emergencies that evacuation and emergency communication be carried out. Recently, drills have been done under the assumption that a fire breaks out due to an earthquake in a facility that uses high energy accelerator (K=400MeV). These drills were primarily focused on the evacuation within the facility and the rescue actions done via firefighting in the areas where there is residual radiation.
