| 内容記述 | Since the JCO criticality accident in 1999, it has been thought to be prudent to prepare a system for radiation emergency medicine. The Great East Japan Earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale occurred in Japan on March 11, 2011, and this earthquake and tsunami caused serious damage to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) of Tokyo Electric Power Co.(TEPCO). Hospitals that had been designated as radiation emergency facilities lost their function because they were located in the evacuation areas, and community lifelines such as water supply and electricity were severely damaged. However, hospitals not thusly designated could not receive patients from NPP because of concerns about the health effects of radiation from patients. In Japan, local governments with nuclear facilities such as NPPs run the training system of radiation emergency for medical professionals. However, those without nuclear facilities do not have the system. Therefore, education and training were restricted to related organizations and agencies. From the response to this accident, we learned that all hospitals, their staffs and first responders need knowledge about radiation and the basics of radiation emergency medicine. The response to this accident has also highlighted the challenges of a radiation emergency medical response system for a combined disaster. In our efforts for recovery from the damages, reconstruction of the medical system for radiation emergency in the affected areas has to be accelerated, since reactors have not been stabilized and many workers are still involved in recovery work, with high risks of radiation exposure at the NPP site. From our response to this combined disaster of earthquake, tsunami, and radiation, we also learned that there is an urgent need for an all-hazards approach. |
