    Uranium waste, which is one of the wastes containing radioactive substances of natural origin, is generated in association with the use of nuclear power generation. While there have been long discussions about handling and disposal of the uranium wastes for last 50 years in Japan, its clear vision including a specific disposal site has not yet been received. For improving this situation, the authors perceived that it is necessary to refocus this issue from the view of humanities and social sciences, rather than that of natural science and engineering and have had in-depth discussions in a specialized study group established in the Japan Health Physics Society. This commentary provides an overview of the two-year discussions in that group.

    By revisiting the narrative of “I couldn’t say ‘no’ to participating,” this study explores the concept of autonomy in disaster research ethics. While conventional research ethics have been grounded on the Kantonian conception of autonomy, it has caused friction with the practical settings of disaster studies. Accordingly, the author proposes a new perspective on autonomy called as “context-informed autonomy.” It requires to ensure the perceived feasibility of nonparticipation choice for the research subject, with taking into consideration his/hers situatedness which entails the things beyond his/hers control.

    This study explores how the COVID-19 was reported in Japanese media focusing particularly on 'reducing contact by 80 percent', an oft-mentioned policy slogan during the emergency period. Our qualitative content analysis of five major newspapers in Japan between 1 April and 30 June shows that media agenda had shifted from 'socializing the slogan of 'reducing contact by 80 percent'' to 'highlighting unachieved status against this goal', and to 'reviewing the boundary between science and politics'. By and large, our analysis indicates that Japanese print media coverage were modest and 'media hype' was not observed. Rather, the slogan had been emphatically represented as a 'scientific' and thus an uncompromised goal, which might orient people toward selfrestraint behavior. Meanwhile, it may have hindered the public from scrutinizing the incertitude of scientific expertise which supported governmental decisions.

  • A study on the institutional design concerning role-sharing between national and local governments about nuclear safety regulation in Japan Reviewed

    In this paper, we consider the concept and the concrete direction of the institutional design concerning role-sharing between national and local governments with respect to nuclear safety regulation, and propose the following four institutional options: 1) strengthen the regulatory body's independence and clarify its accountability, 2) establish a local information committee in reference to the French CLI (Commission Locale d'Information), 3) institutionalize the environmental monitoring of local governments, and 4) institutionalize consultation among the regulatory body and local governments. Options 2, 3, and 4 are designed on the assumption that option 1 is implemented, because it is thought to be essential for fundamental improvements to enhance the regulatory body's ability as well as to reinforce bridges between safety regulation and society. Each option has some advantages and disadvantages, so there is room for further research into achieving reforms. However, it is believed that these institutional options can lead to the development of a trusting relationship between organizations responsible for safety regulation and siting areas and to the reduction in consensus-building costs in local areas. © 2012 Atomic Energy Society of Japan All Rights Reserved.

     This paper shows a comparative analysis between France and Japan on the way of the local governments' involvement in nuclear safety governance through some interviews. In France, a law came into force that requires related local governments to establish "Commision Locale d'Information" (CLI), which means the local governments officially involve in nuclear regulatory activity. Meanwhile, in Japan, related local governments substantially involve in the operation of nuclear facilities through the "safety agreements" in spite of the lack of legal authority. As a result of comparative analysis, we can point out some institutional input from French cases as follows: to clarify the local governments' roles in the nuclear regulation system, to establish the official channels of communication among nuclear utilities, national regulatory authorities and local governments, and to stipulate explicitly the transparency as a purpose of safety regulation.

  • A study on the nuclear safety agreements compared with the pollution control agreements Reviewed

    In this paper, we made a comparison of application between nuclear safety agreements and pollution control agreements, and considered how to improve the way of applying the former. In order to comprehend the actual status of pollution control agreements, we conducted some hearings with the Chiba Prefecture and the Chiba City because there have been few empirical studies on the application of pollution control agreements. Based on these hearings, we found it a characteristic point of pollution control agreement that quantitative standards for emission function are the main criteria of application which local governments and utilities establish through negotiations. In contrast, the ways of applying nuclear safety agreements are often ambiguous because there are no clear criteria. This comparison suggests that the stakeholders around nuclear safety agreements discuss and agree to set out concrete standards of application of nuclear safety agreements as well as pollution control agreements. However, such a difference between the two could be an indication of the difficulty to create a consensus among stakeholders in the case of nuclear safety agreement given the historical context and the differences of risk characteristics. In that case, it can be found useful for risk governance that one introduce the idea of participatory risk management to the application of nuclear safety agreements. © 2011 Atomic Energy Society of Japan, All Rights Reserved.

    In France, there exist organizations called "Commission Locale d'Information" (CLI) in all the siting areas where nuclear facilities located. Previously, the CLI organizations were established voluntarily by some local governments or nuclear utilities. Since 2006, however, the Nuclear Transparency and Safety Act has obliged the establishment of CLI in all the siting areas in conjunction with reforming the nuclear regulatory agencies. This means that the concerned local governments are officially part of nuclear safety regulation. In this study, we investigated present conditions of the CLI organizations through some interviews in France and consider their roles from the standpoint of nuclear regulatory governance. As a result, we found that the CLI plays the following roles: (1) medium of communication among concerned parties (not only between nuclear utilities and local habitants but also between the national nuclear regulatory agency and various local governments) and (2) implementing various activities in accordance with each local condition through the participation of local assembly members. In addition, we clarified that CLFs activities are supported by related institutional infrastructures, such as cost burden between central and local governments, and some other systems of citizen participation in building or expanding nuclear facilities. © Atomic Energy Society of Japan.

      This paper shows the way of the local governments’ involvement in nuclear safety governance through the safety agreement of Hamaoka nuclear power plants which have no article about local governments’ prior consent. To this end, we did bibliographical survey and some interviews to two local governments and a power company. As a result, we can clarify some features of Hamaoka as follows: concerned local governments have avoided technical judgments about nuclear-related issues, the local towns’ decisions have been valued more than the prefetcure’s ones, and the neighboring towns also have engaged in decision-making process same as the local town.

  • Analysis of relationship between the local governments and the power companies through the changes of safety agreements Reviewed

    In Japan, safety of nuclear facilities is regulated by the central government and local governments are responsible for protecting the local public. To operate nuclear facilities in local communities, local governments would conclude safety agreements with power companies. In recent years, local governments have used the safety agreements as excuse for delaying the operations of nuclear facilities. The legal basis of the safety agreements was questioned by some who considered that this was the cause of the stranded relationship between local governments and power companies, and in some cases, the interrupted nature of electricity supply. To understand the sources of this difficult relationship, safety agreements must be analyzed, although these documents may have undergone revisions, and various regulations may have changed. By analyzing the safety agreements and revisions, we found that the relationship between local governments and power companies gradually changed over time, which can be divided into the following 3 stages: (1) in the early 70s, the dawn stage when local governments groped with the situation of nuclear facilities built in their communities
    (2) from late 70s to 90s, the stage when local governments demanded information, and (3) from late 90s to present, the stage when local governments demand information and trustworthiness. This paper shows the results of analyzing the relationship changes between local governments and power companies. We conclude that viewpoints of local governments on nuclear power evolve, as social responsibilities of power companies stipulated in safety agreements also evolve over time. © Atomic Energy Society of Japan.
