  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident

Abstract

Post-accident measures that are ongoing can be classified into three tasks, namely on-site decommissioning work, off-site environmental remediation, and the healthcare of residents and employees. Off-site environmental remediation has been already discussed in Sect. 6.7 in detail. The future tasks for on-site decommissioning work and the healthcare of residents and employees are described in this chapter.
