Analysis reveals unrecognized grief in disaster victims following the Fukushima nuclear incident, suggesting the need for better support mechanisms.
Aim: The Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, caused an accident at the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP).

The evacuation to shelters is well known, but the grief that disaster victims experienced is not widely known. This paper considers the reasons for the lack of acknowledgment of the grief of disaster victims following the disaster.
