Abstract

Before the accident at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011, I never thought about radiation. After the accident, I originally evacuated with my two sons, but we returned home a few weeks later to be with my husband and parents-in-law as I felt that life with my family was what mattered and the very basis of my happiness. Today, 5 years after the accident, some people are able to think positively about the situation, and some remain uncertain. This article offers my experience and thoughts as a mother to help enable others to feel less stressed about eating food produced in Fukushima, and suggests ideas to help lift their spirits.
