Frame of Two Way Risk Communication by Learning Organization to Foster Safety Culture

Public participation to the decision of nuclear issues has been progressing in the already developed countries of nuclear power such as USA, West Europe and Japan. Risk communication by the nuclear industries to the society is time consuming and high cost. The authors of this paper have proposed the frame of two way risk communication for the nuclear industries to cope with the difficulty of social acceptance. In this paper, the author investigated the case of the largest nuclear power station in Japan which had hit by large earthquake in July 16, 2007, being back to the normal operation, with continuous plant restoration work and hard efforts to get approval from local government of commercial operation, from this frame of two way risk communication.
