Background
Public understanding of nuclear radiation is limited, and much of the fear surrounding it arises from this lack of knowledge.

Despite the government's efforts to reduce the exclusion zone and encourage resettlement in Fukushima, a lingering fear remains among the public.

In a context where radiation remains a hidden concern, this project applies citizen science to give the public greater agency in understanding and monitoring their surroundings.

Citizen science

Science is responsive to citizens’ concerns and needs.

Reliable scientific knowledge and large-volume databases are produced by citizens themselves.
