Takashita, Hirofumi ; Sugiyama, Kenji; Yamamoto, Ryuichi

As our risk communication activities after the Fukushima nuclear accident, we have conducted explanatory meetings on radiation risk and its influence on human health. We carried out the meetings to reduce anxiety and concerns about radiation risk among residents in Ibaraki and Fukushima prefectures. The meetings incorporate the residents' needs, and have interactive two-way communication as long as possible. We show the methods of our risk communication in the meetings.
