Recently attention is focused on the disposal of treated radioactively polluted water to the ocean from collapsed Fukushima nuclear power plant. Japanese government claiming safety of the treated water, is trying to mitigate “reputational damages” of Fukushima fishery people. However, there are real risks with the damaged plant, such as lowering of water level in the reactor vessel by a big earthquake early 2021. After the plant accident, Japanese government forced the Fukushima residents to leave their home towns by setting difficult-to-return zones, etc. Besides, Japanese government set new strict rules on radioactive pollution of foods. These regulations have caused difficult situations in living conditions of Fukushima people through long time evacuation and superfluous testing of many foods etc. Consequently, based on these critical governmental regulations, not only “reputational damages”, but real serious damages, are brought about to many people. Rules must be based on basic safe sciences and be reasonable in minimizing possible risks to people and the society. This paper is dedicated to the Ukrainian who suffer from unjustifiable war crime.

A panel discussion with media was conducted in the 29th annual meeting of SRA Japan. The panel discussed how to collaborate between media and experts on risk issues. The background of the panel discussion is as follows: Modern society is confronted with diverse risks. The role of media is to report news timely and clearly. Psychological and ethical aspects are closely related with risk although the risk is quantitative for uncertain information. The uncertain aspects with diverse views on risk issues have blocked the difficulties of media reports to help people act properly to face the risk. In order to solve the problems, we should continue to think how to collaborate between media and experts.
