This video is for the conference on “Heath, Environment, and Education in Challenging Times” (2020). It is contributed by Mengyi Zhang and Louisa Hain.
The functions are technically supported through operational analytics- chemical data points that allow more guidelines and recovery plans to be built, a secure infrastructure that allows easy and secure transfers of information for health records and payments, coordination of care between healthcare providers at a touch of a button.
The aim of the program is to provide training and education in order to build and sustain nuclear programs as well as to respond to disaster. The prgoram offers hands on workshops in a variety of scopes. This is accomplished through the IEC the emergency and incident centre that provides programs for anyone who could be exposed to radition- medical personel, first responders, radiological assessors, etc.
This argument is supported through discussion of Soviet Russia and how Chernobyl was handled and the legislation that came after the disaster to prevent/treat further meltdowns. Through discussion of Fukishima and how no one knew what to do (the US, Russia or Japan) despite that people in all these countries have experienced nuclear disasters in the past. The discrepancy of international discussions of safety, security and education, but lack of preparation if something would happen. Discussion of doing this internationally has been talked about, but no steps have been made to accomplish this goal.
The three topics I followed up upon was the countries surrounding Ukraine and their impact from the nuclear disaster, the types of radiation poisoning as well as the long term affects, and puterpili (sufferers).
The film was shot after the event had already taken place, however in the film it mentioned interventions that were used, methods of putting water on the melting fuel rods. It also indirectly mentioned (hinted at) a need to an emergency nuclear response team internationally.
Looking back at 2020, COVID-19 unleashed a global pandemic that sweeps across the world. It was unexpected to see China emerging as a winner of this pandemic.
