ABSTRACT

The Radiological Emergency Act in Korea has been revised since the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, but the controversy over the radiological emergency plan has not been resolved. Moreover, as the number of disaster vulnerable people increases, nuclear disaster preparedness becomes even more difficult. The objective of this paper is to examine the controversial issues of the radiological emergency plan and to suggest the direction for improving the protection of disaster vulnerable people. The main issues of the radiological emergency plan were found to include inconsistency in the scope of radiological emergency planning zones, lack of cooperation system, shortage of personnel and budget for radiological emergency plan, controversy on the effectiveness of resident evacuation planning, and lack of education and drill for the disaster response. The current plan needs to be improved in terms of evacuation scenario, education and drill, and preparation for shelter and relief items, considering the differentiated needs of disaster vulnerable people.
