Summary
Fukushima University is the only national university in Fukushima Prefecture that is located near the earthquake and nuclear accident. The university provided much of the correspondence about the earthquake and the nuclear accident. Moreover, the highest dose rate from the radioactive material released into the environment by the nuclear accident was measured at the public facilities of the university. Putting aside the reality of crisis management, here we describe several thoughts for a safer society.
