[3F_PL02] View of "FUHYO(rumor)" from the perspective of social psychology

*Shoji Tsuchida1 (1. Kansai Univ.)

We will discuss on “FUHYO(rumor)” or “FUHYO-Higai” which is a keyword of the treated water ocean discharge at the Fukushima Dai-ichi site, and testify our fundamental perspectives toward the issue.
We will point out that concept of “FUHYO” used in the field of atomic energy so far is unique and used only in Japan. It is not a world-wide concept, and is different from the concept used in Social Sciences. Sticking to the concept of “FUHYO” may lead us more difficult way to carry out the task of ocean discharge. We will explore better ways to solve the problem.
