Abstract

Since 2011, Nagasaki University (Nagasaki, Japan) has been assisting the reconstruction efforts of Kawauchi Village (Fukushima Prefecture), which was the first village to decide to return to its hometown after the evacuation due to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. In April 2013, Nagasaki University and the Kawauchi government office concluded an agreement concerning comprehensive cooperation toward reconstruction of the village. It is clear that the cooperation of residents, local authorities, and specialists is essential for the recovery of areas affected by the accident. Accumulated experiences and practices should be carefully evaluated and recorded to prepare for nuclear disasters in the future.
