Game analysis of nuclear wastewater discharge under different attitudes: Seeking a potential equilibrium solution

Evolutionary Game Analysis of Shared Manufacturing Quality Innovation Synergetic Behavior Considering a Subject’s Heterogeneous Emotions

“…RDEU theory is a utility theory that considers the psychological preferences and emotions of decision makers and can measure the influence of emotions on decision making. Regarding this theoretical approach, Guo et al estimated the influences of heterogeneous emotions of government and individuals on the equilibrium strategy of an individual carbon trading scheme implementation model by constructing an RDEU evolutionary game model [49]; Ni et al combined game theory and RDEU theory to construct an RDEU game model of insiders and the nuclear security sector to study the existence of two-way strategic equilibrium solutions under different emotional states, and evaluated (from a dynamic perspective) the influence and change process of emotions on participants' decision-making behavior [50]; Liu et al used a static game, RDEU game, and sequential game to study the equilibrium strategies of emitters and stakeholders under different situations [51]; and Yang et al established a signaling game between miners (emotion-driven and judgment-driven) and managers from the perspective of emotional event theory to examine the effect of managers' emotions on miners' behavior [52]. It is evident that participant emotions have a significant impact on the behavioral decisions of decision makers.…”

Evolutionary analysis of Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge events considering the impact of participants' emotions

“…There are relatively few policy-oriented studies on the Japanese government's discharge of nuclear wastewater into the sea. Very recently, Liu, Lyu, et al (2021) analyzed the wastewater discharge equilibrium strategies of discharging countries and other countries of interest using static games, RDEU games, and sequential games. In particular, the authors included emotional factors in the traditional game model framework.…”

“…However, the impact of emotions on the management of public emergencies has received widespread attention since the outbreak of COVID-19 (Liu, Lyu, et al, 2021). In recent years, some scholars have carried out game analysis considering public emotions around areas such as land acquisition (Hong et al, 2020), environmental pollution (Hao et al, 2019), and emergency management (Xiong & Hou, 2012).…”

“…In recent years, some scholars have carried out game analysis considering public emotions around areas such as land acquisition (Hong et al, 2020), environmental pollution (Hao et al, 2019), and emergency management (Xiong & Hou, 2012). To the best of our knowledge, only Liu, Lyu, et al (2021) constructed an RDEU game model considering public emotions to analyze the impact of Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge policy on stakeholders. Unfortunately, the authors assumed that the stakeholders are perfectly rational and construct a static game model without considering the dynamics of the game process.…”

“…To cool the reactor cores, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) continues to inject water into the containment of units 1 to 3. As of April 2021, 1.25 million tons of nuclear wastewater has been stored in the plant and is still increasing at a rate of 140 tons per day (Liu, Lyu, et al, 2021). TEPCO claimed that the wastewater storage tanks in the FDNPP will be fully filled in the fall of 2022 and that there is no more land available for the construction of large numbers of storage tanks.…”
