A study on application of P2M theory in social decision making for nuclear disaster countermeasures

Abstract

The Fukushima NPP Disaster in 2011 clarified various social challenges related to nuclear power generation in Japan. Due to the expansion of the disaster prevention area based on the new Nuclear Emergency Response Guidelines, for instance, more municipalities have been required to develop an emergency evacuation plan in preparation for nuclear disasters, and to play more leading role in the nuclear disaster management system. This paper applies P2M theory to regard reformed nuclear disaster management system as a program, and evacuation plans and emergency preparedness that is obligated to formulate for municipalities that have accepted nuclear facilities after Fukushima as project, in order to explain necessity of management to gain social acceptance.
