Abstract;The critical accident of the nuclear-fuel processing plantin Tokai has rastically changed the implication of nuclear and radiochemistry education through social education in Rokkasho, the special nuclear site in Japan. It was once a tabooto tell neutron of extrareactor or even at the background level, because it was regarded as "waking of children in sleep". More indirect and roundabout approaches through science history and science literacy, however, have been replaced by a positive learning of nuclear and radiochemistry as knowledge for survival here. Now people are willing to come together to try radioactive measurements with us at their Community Hall. A great impact has been given to the public by the death of two sacrifices. (author abst.)
