American Hibakusha: Radiation Affected Communities Inside of the United States of America

在本学年，我能够进行两次研究旅行，进行研究并与学者会面。第一次研究之旅是在美国。我参观了位于新墨西哥州的洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室。我还参观了一个铀矿开采现场，并在国家铀矿博物馆进行了研究。我在国立核子科学博物馆进行了研究，并会见了西南地区当地大学的学者。我参观了指定的高放射性核废料储存地，并对美国西北部汉福德核保护区附近地区的居民进行了口述历史采访，我还进行了第二次访问，会见了欧洲的重要学者。我会见了一些学者，他们研究水在核技术中的作用，以及水在核反应堆运行和核武器生产中的作用。我会见了一些学者，他们创建了先进的计算机建模程序，利用核武器试爆和当地天气数据，更准确地了解核爆炸后放射性沉降物的顺风分布，还有一些研究人员，他们正在评估持续暴露于低水平外部辐射对健康的影响，正如在铀矿开采附近和顺风社区所经历的那样。我还对有关污染地区辐射分布和迁移的科学研究进行了持续分析，并创建了一个我自己使用的美国污染数据库，以及可能正在进行的分发。

I was able to conduct two research trips during this academic year to conduct research and to meet with scholars. The first research trip was to the United States. I visited to the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. I also visited to a uranium mining site, and the conducted research at the National Uranium Mining Museum. I conducted research at the National Nuclear Science Museum, and also met with scholars at local universities in the Southwest. I visited sites designated for the storage of high-level nuclear waste, and did oral history interviews with those living in the areas near the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in the Northwest United States.I conducted a second trip to meet with important scholars in Europe. I met with scholars working on the role of water use in nuclear technologies, about the role of water in nuclear reactor operation and nuclear weapon production. I met with scholars who have created advanced computer modeling programs to use nuclear weapon test detonations and local weather data to create more accurate understandings of downwind distribution of radioactive fallout following nuclear explosions, and also researchers who have done work assessing the health impacts of ongoing exposures to low levels of external radiation, as experienced near uranium mining and in downwind communities.I also conducted ongoing analysis of scientific studies on the distribution and migration of radiation in contaminated areas, and created a database of my own use on contaminations in the United States, and likely ongoing distributions.
