After the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, the Tokai Research and Development Center of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) had direct dialogue as risk communication with Fukushima residents who sought out whole-body counting (WBC). The results of the risk communication and the two opinion surveys show that Fukushima residents have the most anxiety about their long-term health.
