Reflections on the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident: Toward Social-Scientific Literacy and Engineering ResilienceAuthor: Joonhong Ahn, Cathryn Carson, Mikael Jensen, Kohta Juraku, Shinya Nagasaki, Satoru Tanak Published by Springer International Publishing ISBN: 978-3-319-12089-8 DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-12090-4Table of Contents:Integrating Social-Scientific Literacy in Nuclear Engineering Education Event Sequence of the Fukushima Daiichi Accident Analysis of Radioactive Release from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Environmental Contamination and Decontamination After Fukushima Daiichi Accident Long-Term Energy and Environmental Strategies Impact of Fukushima Daiichi Accident on Japan’s Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Spent Fuel Management Political Impact of the Fukushima Daiichi Accident in Europe Where Was the Weakness in Application of Defense-in-Depth Concept and Why? Ethics, Risk and Safety Culture The “Structural Disaster” of the Science-Technology-Society Interface Three Mile Island and Fukushima Implications and Lessons for Advanced Reactor Design and Operation Understanding the Health Impacts and Risks of Exposure to Radiation Nuclear Safety Regulation in Japan and Impacts of the Fukushima Daiichi Accident Radioactive Waste Management After Fukushima Daiichi Accident From Fukushima to the World Students’ Reflections Educating the Post-Fukushima Nuclear Engineer Reflections on Developing an Identity for the Third Generation Nuclear Engineer in the Post-Fukushima Society Nuclear Engineers for Society: What Education can do, Understanding the accident and its consequences -- Etiology -- Lessons learned: Basis for moving forward -- Students’ reflections -- Education in future, This book focuses on nuclear engineering education in the post-Fukushima era. It was edited by the organizers of the summer school held in August 2011 in University of California, Berkeley, as part of a collaborative program between the University of Tokyo and UC Berkeley. Motivated by the particular relevance and importance of social-scientific approaches to various crucial aspects of nuclear technology, special emphasis was placed on integrating nuclear science and engineering with social science. The book consists of the lectures given in 2011 summer school and additional chapters that cover developments in the past three years since the accident. It provides an arena for discussions to find and create a renewed platform for engineering practices, and thus nuclear engineering education, which are essential in the post-Fukushima era for nurturing nuclear engineers who need to be both technically competent and trusted in society
