The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011, and the accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station caused widespread contamination in Fukushima Prefecture and elsewhere. JAEA started its activities on the day of March 11 when it was dispatched by a Self-Defense Forces helicopter from Hyakuri Air Base in Ibaraki Prefecture to the Okuma Town Off-Site Center. The activities included physical survey, health consultation telephone counter, temporary return home response for residents, whole body measurement of TEPCO employees and Fukushima Prefecture residents, environmental radiation monitoring, and others. The lecture reviewed the various events that took place during the first year after the disaster and introduced the dilemma under which JAEA has been working through simulated experiences.
