- Title
Japan's nuclear crisis: Fukushima's legacy of fear.
- Authors
Brumfiel, Geoff; Fuyuno, Ichiko
- Abstract
The article focuses on the efforts taken by concerned communities in Japan to remove contaminated soil and conduct other clean-up operations caused by the earthquake that hit the country in 2011 with the help of independent researchers and not from the scientists who receive funding from the government. The roots of mistrust came out after authorities issued radiation readings that often turned out to be incorrect. A survey that nail down the long-term impact of Fukushima on citizens is tackled.
