Research Dissemination
University of Bristol research into Risk Management was recently featured in a Financial Times article on the 11th March entitled: Fukushima nuclear disaster: did the evacuation raise the death toll? This research was released in November 2017 in Management of Nuclear Risk Issues: Environmental, Financial and Safety (NREFS) and is also being pursued for practical application by the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety in France, the International Atomic Energy Agency and the UK Health and Safety Executive.
