What is it about?

I work as a photographer in Tokyo. At the time of the accident at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, my daughter was just 1 year old, and I was looking for reliable information on which to base my actions. Among a wide array of information on the Internet, I found the International Commission on Radiological Protection’s (ICRP) Publication 111 (ICRP, 2009). Using social media, I worked with experts to interpret the document. Eventually, I began to acquaint myself with residents of Fukushima Prefecture on social media sites.
