Designing, planning, and managing resilient cities: A conceptual framework

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual resilience framework is proposed for designing, planning, and managing for resilience by including an evaluation of cultural and process dynamics within cities as well as their physical elements.

Airborne radiation mapping: overview and application of current and future aerial systems

TL;DR: A review examines and evaluates the previous as well as current work on aerial radiation monitoring and the future improvement that might be delivered by a combined three-dimensional 3D radiation mapping platform as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of the accident process, radioactivity release and ground contamination between Chernobyl and Fukushima-1

TL;DR: The Chernobyl accident was a power-surge accident that was caused by a failure of control of a fission chain reaction, which instantaneously destroyed the reactor and building, whereas the Fukushima-1 incident was a loss-of-coolant accident in which the reactor cores of three units were melted by decay heat after losing the electricity supply.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decision inertia : deciding between least worst outcomes in emergency responses to disasters

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate how naturalistic decision-making can be usefully applied to study "decision inertia" -namely the cognitive process associated with failures to execute action when a decision-maker struggles to choose between equally perceived aversive outcomes.

The Fukushima accident was preventable.

TL;DR: The Fukushima accident was preventable, if international best practices and standards had been followed, if there had been international reviews, and had common sense prevailed in the interpretation of pre-existing geological and hydrodynamic findings.
