The Japanese Journal of Health Physics has shown a large number of articles related to the accident at the TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi NPP in March 2011. In these, 39 articles on environmental monitoring have been published up to March 2022. The various issues related to environmental radiation/radioactivity monitoring and decontamination methods were developed after the accident. The articles presented in this journal, which are based on the experience of experts in the field of radiation protection and radioecology, may also be seen as a record of the practical issues at the time. Please refer to the original articles.

Japan Health Physics Society established a working group to obtain the insights and findings from the articles, which are related to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (1F) accident, published in the Japanese Journal of Health Physics. This paper describes the results of the review on 47 articles, which are classified into the field without risk communication, environmental measurement and monitoring, radiation dose measurement and assessment, radiation medicine and radioactive waste. In the reviewed articles, there are various insights and issues depending on the standpoint of the authors and social interests in the timing those published. It is important to face these insights and issues to consider prudently “what is health physics or radiation protection?” for the future development of the Health Physics society.

At the time of Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (1F) accident on March 11, 2011, many members of Japan Health Physics Society including researchers or radiation workers were involved in 1F accident-related work and research. After that, many 1F accident-related articles were submitted and published in Japanese Journal of Health Physics. The articles covered a wide range of topics such as lessons learned and future challenges, environmental monitoring, dosimetry, risk communication, radiation medicine and radioactive waste. There were about 130 articles related to the 1F accident in the 11 years until December 2021. In March 2022, a working group was established to review articles related to the 1F accident published in this journal. This article provides an overview.

When severe contamination incidents occur in plutonium fuel handling facilities, containment tents are assembled to contain alpha-emitting radionuclides from spreading and rescue workers for evacuation with necessary decontamination. However, the time to assemble the conventional containment tents is too long, and the inhalation risk is proportionately high. Inadequacies in tent structures were also recognized. Therefore, we developed new containment tents that are more easily assembled and function effectively, by improving and refurbishing the shortcomings of conventional tents. The new tents were evaluated in an airborne contamination situation at the plutonium fuel fabricating facility. The tents appropriately functioned for the intended use, but other shortcomings emerged, therefore, we modified the tent structure. The new features of the developed and modified tents can be summarized as follows: 1. The time to assemble the set of tents is significantly reduced from two hours to half an hour. 2. Multiple evacuation pathways can be arranged by adding a new passage tent with zippers on all the side surfaces. 3. Various layouts can be arranged by changing the tent connection method. The tents could be used for similar but wider alpha-emitting radioactive particulate handling facilities.
