“…Because of the high radioactive releases that ensued the accident was rated 7 on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale and attracted intensive media coverage. Studies found that the Fukushima crisis tarnished the image of nuclear power (Leiserowitz, Maibach, Roser‐Renouf, & Smith, 2011), and led to a widespread loss of faith in the safety of nuclear reactors (Kim, Kim, & Kim, 2013; Patil, 2017), concluding that it was a “focusing event,” a crisis that generates massive media and public attention and ripple effects well beyond the disaster itself (Leiserowitz et al, 2011).…”

Prior literature on the relationship between the departure of strategic human capital (SHC) and firm performance is equivocal. One source of this ambiguity is the potential endogeneity: Is it the SHC departure that leads to poor firm performance, or is it poor firm performance leading to the SHC departure? We respond to repeated calls to address this issue by using the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan as an exogenous event which triggered a "butterfly effect" that influenced the departure decisions of individuals working for firms near a nuclear plant in the United States but not the firms' performance. Our results provide strong evidence that the departure of SHC undermines firm performance, and that the effect is amplified by the strength of employee-firm relationships.

“…Several countries learned from the Fukushima accident and reviewed their energy policies, revised their future energy mix, modified their plans regarding nuclear energy and stopped or postponed the building of new nuclear reactors [211]. Examples of these countries are Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Korea, Belgium, France, Sweden and United States of America [212][213][214].…”

Nuclear desalination: A state-of-the-art review

Thermal desalination is an energy intensive process that satisfies its requirement from conventional fossil fuel sources. Current research efforts aim at finding alternatives for fossil fuels to power thermal desalination. Nuclear energy offers a feasible option for power cogeneration and production of fresh water due to the significant amount of recovered useful heat. The heat is exploited to produce steam and generate electricity on-site to power thermal and membrane desalination facilities. Large or small/medium nuclear reactors (SMR) can be used. This paper reviews the various aspects of nuclear desalination, the different nuclear reactors that have been coupled with desalination processes, and the hybrid desalination systems coupled with nuclear reactors. It also discusses the safety and public acceptance for the nuclear desalination practices as well as the latest economic studies and assessments for on -site nuclear desalination power plants.Ten main projects around the world are primarily operated as nuclear desalination plants. The major desalination processes coupled with nuclear SMRs are MSF, MED and RO. The cost of water production using nuclear desalination was estimated to range from 0.4 $/m 3 to 1.8 $/m 3 depending on the type of reactor and the desalination process used.

Objective - This paper aims to investigate the feasibility of employing nuclear power in peninsula Malaysia, within the context of a deregulated electricity market framework. Methodology/Technique - System dynamics modelling and simulation has been adopted in this research. A qualitative causal loop diagram, which represent the relationships of key factors in the dynamics of nuclear power in peninsula Malaysia's electricity market, was first constructed. It is divided into three sections: (1) investment decisions, (2) power generation, and (3) maintaining business as usual. The causal loop diagram is converted into stock and flow diagram, where variables are quantified by input values and equation before simulated for a set period of 38 years. Three scenarios were designed to facilitate the research: (A) business, as usual, (B) nuclear power expansion, and (C) renewable energy expansion. Findings - Simulations showed that scenario B can potentially strengthen the region's energy security under specific conditions in addressing capacity redundancy and emissions reduction. Also, having a diverse market is paramount in contributing to the responsiveness of the market. Novelty - A systemic and dynamic understanding of the implications of two energy scenarios on the country has been established. Type of Paper: Empirical Keywords: Energy Security; Electricity Market; Deregulation; System Dynamics; Nuclear Power.
