“…This is because the timing, size and composition of any release would not be predictable, and in order to be effective, the off-site protective actions, in most cases, must be taken before, or shortly after, the release occurs (AESJ 2015;IAEA et al 2011;NRC 2012). As expected, (McKenna 2000, McKenna et al 2007, the timing, magnitude, composition, effective height and duration of the severe releases could not be predicted, with estimates of the source term continuing to be revised as more data became available (TEPCO 2012b). Consequently, dose projection models cannot be used effectively for making decisions concerning protective actions that need to be taken following severe damage to the fuel in the reactor core.…”

“…Current understandings of the accident indicate that the reactor core of unit 1 was uncovered at approximately 18:10 on 11 March (TEPCO 2012a). At this point a severe release of radioactive material with the potential to cause health effects among the public located off-site was possible (McKenna 2000).…”

“…More precisely, these zones correspond to specific distances from the accident's source, with the type of protective action for the population in each zone predetermined. Several references are addressing the specification of emergency zones in case of a major nuclear accident [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], major accidents in chemical plants using hazardous materials [17][18][19][20] or transportation accidents involving hazardous materials [21][22][23]. Usually the extend of the zone is based on the intensity of the extreme phenomenon following the major accident.…”
