This study draws lessons from this experience regarding technological countermeasures to radioactive contamination to improve responses to future radiological or nuclear contingencies. Specifically, it focuses on how technologies were used to measure contamination over space and time, to limit the dispersal of radioactive material in the environment, to decontaminate areas or items, and to store radioactive materials for extended periods. The authors gathered data by conducting extensive literature reviews and dozens of interviews with experts in both Japan and the United States. The report analyzes how technologies were used successfully and identifies capability gaps that could be redressed through novel technologies or improved use of existing technologies. Also included is an abbreviated bibliography for further reading"--Publisher's description. 606 $aFukushima Nuclear Disaster, Japan, 2011 606 $aEmergency management$xTechnological innovations$zJapan 606 $aNuclear power plants$xAccidents$zJapan$zFukushima-ken 615 0$aFukushima Nuclear Disaster, Japan, 2011. 615 0$aEmergency management$xTechnological innovations 615 0$aNuclear power plants$xAccidents 700 $aDion-Schwarz$b Cynthia$01247801 702 $aEvans$b Sarah E. 702 $aGeist$b Edward 702 $aHarold$b Scott$f1975- 702 $aKoym$b V.
