At the request of the government of Japan and Fukushima prefecture, the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories and the Nuclear Science Research Institute of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) conducted the internal dosimetry examination program for the residents of Fukushima prefecture (Fukushima residents) affected by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident by whole-body counting (WBC) starting in July 2011, the year of Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. At the internal dosimetry examination, almost Fukushima residents worried about effects of radiation and suffered from various serious situations, which were caused by not only the nuclear accident but also the earthquake and tsunami. Therefore, JAEA had direct dialogue focused on active listening, as risk communication with Fukushima residents in order to mitigate Fukushima residents' anxiety and stress. This report evaluates the effects of the activities and shows the ways of our communication with Fukushima residents during WBC to mitigate Fukushima residents' anxiety and stress.

Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories (NCL) of JAEA has held the explanatory meetings in Ibaraki prefecture since May 2011 in order to transmit factual information and reduce the excessive anxiety about radiation risk. Applying to our past risk communication process to the explanatory meetings, we built a process of interactivity between participants and our staff for the meetings. We incorporated the participants' needs into the meetings, and, as far as possible, we had interactive two-way communication so that the meetings were not one-way and persuasive but promote mutual understanding. According to the opinions and the results of questionnaire survey that were received from the participants, it became evident that the interactive explanatory meetings were effective in reducing participants' anxiety. This report explains the risk communication process for carrying out the explanatory meeting, and shows the activities of the meetings, questions and opinions from the participants, and questionnaire results that NCL implemented.

JAEA has held public meetings on radiation and its health effects mainly for parents of students in kindergartens, elementary schools, and junior high schools in Fukushima prefecture after the Fukushima nuclear accident. These meetings are held based on our experience of practicing risk communication activities for a decade in JAEA with local residents. Questionnaires were collected after the meetings. By analyzing questionnaires, we confirmed that interactive communication is effective in increasing participants' understanding and in decreasing their anxiety. Risk communication study office supported the staff members of the meetings providing information such as participants' questions in the past meetings. To provide information, we made a homepage and held the orientation for the staff members Questionnaires of the staff members were also collected and analyzed after the public meetings.

JAEA has held public meetings on radiation and its health effects mainly for parents of students in kindergartens, elementary schools, and junior high schools in Fukushima Prefecture after the Fukushima nuclear accident. These meetings are held based on our experience of practicing risk communication activities for a decade in JAEA with local residents. Questionnaires were collected after the meetings. By analyzing questionnaires, we confirmed that interactive communication is effective in increasing participants' understanding and in decreasing their anxiety. Most of the participants answered that they understood the contents and that it eased their mind.

The workgroup consist of housewife members, MWG, was organized several years ago to make messages about JAEA nuclear works for explaining widely in public. The member's image about nuclear safety, nuclear fuel cycle, and technologies related to nuclear action were changed dramatically after Fukushima nuclear accident. Based on these, MWG actions were reconsidered to make alternative messages on female view point.

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.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been carrying out internal dosimetry for Fukushima residents by trust of Fukushima prefecture from July 2011. To perform result explanation on the inspection day is the merit of investigation at JAEA. As a result of analysis of the awareness of the examinee, anxiety about radiation exposure tended to be considerably reduced after inspection. The importance of the interactive communication was demonstrated.

To improve radiation risk literacy for residents after the Fukushima nuclear accident, interactive public meetings are held in Ibaraki prefecture on the point of risk communicative activities. Tendencies of awareness in Ibaraki residents participating at the meetings were found for analysing questionnaires.

As our risk communication activities after the Fukushima nuclear accident, we have conducted explanatory meetings on radiation risk and its influence on human health in Ibaraki and Fukushima prefectures. We also have implemented internal dosimetry of Fukushima Residents by using whole body counters. We carried out questionnaire surveys for the participants and the examinees. Awareness of those people toward radiation, nuclear information, etc. are compared and shown.

JAEA nuclear fuel cycle engineering laboratory, surveillance study and practice about risk communication have been performed from 2001. After the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant disaster is carrying out the briefing session (study meeting concerning "radiation in Fukushima Prefecture at "the meeting which replies to the question about radiation", and Ibaraki Prefecture" (the following, study meeting)) about the radiation which thought bidirection as important for Fukushima residents and Ibaraki residents based on the request from various organizations taking advantage of the experience. Here, while introducing the outline and questionnaire result of a study meeting which were performed in Ibaraki, the bidirectional dialog activities "FRIENDLY talk" before the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant disaster are compared, and the opinion tendency of the Ibaraki residents before and behind an accident is considered.
