The Importance of Adopting a Broader Perspective in Health Management The extent of the exposure dose determines radiation’s health impacts. Various countermeasures and investigations have been conducted to prevent excessive radiation exposure from the nuclear accident that occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. However, radiation exposure is not the only determinant of health. Therefore,

Author: Karim Moutchou Institution: Medical Student, Fez Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy Editors: Akihiko Ozaki M.D., Yuki Senoo Introduction In the previous two articles about my visit to Japan, "My clinical exchange experience in Japan" and "Visit to Fukushima Prefecture," I detailed some of what I learned during my trip, which was organized by the Medical Governance Research Institute (MEGRI). After the visit, I was very motivated to share my experience with my colleague

Neutrons play an important role in inducing a continuous fission chain reaction of uranium-235, which is required for nuclear power generation. When nuclear fission of uranium-235 occurs, two or three neutrons are released. These neutrons produced from the fission reaction of uranium will then collide with another uranium-235 atom,

The reactor continues to cool after the termination of a nuclear fission reaction Nuclear power plants generate electricity by turning a turbine via water vapor, which is obtained from heating the water using the energy released from the nuclear fission reaction of uranium 235. Of the energy generated by nuclear fusion reaction at nuclear power plants, approximately 30% is used for power generation, while

Author: Anonymus Editors: Akihiko Ozaki M.D., Yuki Senoo I am a third-year medical student studying at the University of Pécs Medical School in Hungary. I am an Uyghur and grew up in the small city of Bole, which covers an area of 7,802 km2 with a total population of approximately 106,400 people. In this paper, I would like to share my story about how I decided to study medicine in Hungary. My name means a "magical herb" in Uyghur, and it appears in an ancient Uyghur fairy ta
