Selected Papers on Disaster and Radiation

The site is a literature information of works authored or coauthored by faculty members of Fukushima Medical University, specifically about disaster response, emergency medicine, health effects of radiation, and related topics.

We have always been devoted to patient care, education, and research, but Japan’s 3.11 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis broadened our mission to promote the long-term health and well being of every Fukushima resident. All of us at FMU are committed to this mission, and to sharing our experience and results with the world.
