La 4e de couverture indique : "Le 11 mars 2011. au large du Japon, un séisme effroyable accouche d'un tsunami, qui vient frapper de plein fouet l'une des plus grandes centrales au monde Fukushima Daiichi. D'une violence inouïe, la catastrophe naturelle entraîne alors une catastrophe technologique. Dès le départ, un angoissant compte à rebours s'est enclenché... et les cinq premiers jours vont s'avérer décisifs. Dans un univers complètement dévasté, alors que les bâtiments sont plongés dans l'obscurité, le personnel de la centrale nucléaire se retrouve confronté aux explosions et aux radiations toxiques. Guidés par Masao Yoshida, le directeur du site, les employés feront preuve de beaucoup de courage, d'ingéniosité et d'un incroyable sens du sacrifice pour tenter d'éviter l'apocalypse. Quelques mois plus tard, une commission d'enquête auditionne Yoshida pour comprendre l'ampleur du désastre auquel ils ont dû faire face. Voici son récit."

This book examines the impacts of radionuclides released from the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident on inland aquatic environments. The focus is on the dynamics of radiocesium in inland aquatic environments. The book comprises three parts: migration behavior of radiocesium in river and lake environment, accumulation of radiocesium into organisms in freshwater, and integrated environmental analysis in a lake system and a forest-freshwater system. Many studies on the dynamics of radionuclides have been published after the FDNPP accident, especially of radiocesium (134Cs 137Cs) in land and marine environment. The key features of this book are the new data of freshwater environment including transport of radionuclides in river and lake watershed, and accumulation of radiocesium in freshwater fishes and insects. Another feature of this book is that it summarizes the dataset of a model lake, Lake Akagi-Onuma, from geochemical and biological approaches. Readers will learn the actual dispersion behavior of radionuclides released from the Fukushima accident and their impacts on freshwater environments since the accident in 2011. The book presents valuable information for assessing the impacts of the FDNPP accident on ecosystem and human health, which are also useful in developing countermeasures for similar accidents and environmental contaminations.

The twelfth volume of the Critical Spatial Practice series focuses on “Don’t Follow the Wind,” the acclaimed collaborative project situated in the radioactive Fukushima exclusion zone. The book explores the long-term environmental crisis in the coastal Japanese region through this ongoing, inaccessible exhibition, which maintains traces of human presence amid the fallout of the March 2011 nuclear reactor meltdown that displaced entire towns. What can art do in a continuing catastrophe when destruction and contamination have made living impossible? The exhibition is located inside the exclusion zone, an evacuated radioactive area established after the nuclear disaster that forcibly separated residents from their homes, land, and community. In cooperation with former residents, participating artists installed newly commissioned works at sites in the exclusion zone. Although the exhibition opened in March 2015, the zone is still inaccessible to the public—the exhibition, like the radiation, is virtually invisible. The exhibition can only be viewed when restrictions are lifted and people are permitted to return. This might take several years or decades—a period that could extend beyond our lifetime. While nuclear contamination has displaced and ruptured communities, new temporary and translocal formations have emerged among the residents who have lent their sites, other former residents collaborating on the project, and the artists, curators, and cultural workers.
