Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident (Fukushima accident) has brought about a great change in many people's perceptions about nuclear power plant safety. When discussing future energy options for Japan, it is important to have a full grasp of the attitude of a large number of people towards nuclear energy. The Atomic Energy Society of Japan has conducted annual questionnaire survey of 500 adults who live within 30 kilometers of Tokyo Station. The aim of this survey is to assess trends in public attitude towards nuclear energy. The authors that designed the questionnaire entries of this survey have been managing questionnaire data as members of the Data Management Working Group under the Social and Environmental Division of the Atomic Energy Society of Japan. We confirmed the change in public attitude towards nuclear energy through this periodical survey after the Fukushima accident. In particular, public concerns about the use of nuclear energy increased after the Fukushima accident, and many people have raised doubts over the use of nuclear energy in the future.

Contaminated with naturally occurring radionuclides uranium and its progeny nuclides, "uranium bearing wastes" have very long half-life to decay its radioactivity, which can be hundreds of thousands of years, and have risk to impose a considerable burden on future generations. Based on this, the authors considered that it is important to consider not only from the viewpoint of science and engineering as has been done so far, but also from the viewpoint of humanities and social sciences such as philosophy and history. Therefore, in 2020, the Health Physics Society of Japan established the "the Expert Panel on Management of NORM-Containing Wastes Investigated through the Perspective of Humanities and Social Sciences, and related fields". In this session, we will report on the history and future outlook of our activities so far.

We create a framework for evaluating risk communication based on evaluation indicators and evaluation methods that make use of the characteristics of risk communication such as collaboration and consensus building, and start a research project to consider methods for concrete social implementation. Therefore, I would like to give an overview of it.
