After the March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, overseas experts and representatives of international organizations visited Japan to provide advice, technical support, and resources. Several international meetings on radiological protection and health issues have since been held in Fukushima to provide further advice. The content discussed has changed alongside local developments in health-related issues from radiation health effects and radiological protection to risk communication and psychological, public health, and social issues. The support of international organizations and experts has been valuable in implementing public health and support programs in Fukushima. The Fukushima accident showed that after a nuclear accident, authorities need to balance the risks of radiation with other health effects and develop programs to mitigate the overall effects on health (whole-health management), but there was little evidence of the importance of this at the time. Future research should examine international collaboration to assess this.
2011年3月福岛第一核电站事故发生后，海外专家和国际组织代表访问日本，提供建议、技术支持和资源。此后，在福岛举行了几次关于放射防护和健康问题的国际会议，以提供进一步的建议。讨论的内容随着与健康相关问题的当地发展而变化，从辐射健康影响和放射防护到风险沟通以及心理、公共卫生和社会问题。国际组织和专家的支持对于在福岛实施公共卫生和支持计划非常宝贵。福岛事故表明，核事故发生后，当局需要在辐射风险与其他健康影响之间取得平衡，并制定减轻对健康的总体影响的计划（全健康管理），但当时几乎没有证据表明这一点的重要性。未来的研究应考察国际合作以对此进行评估。
