A few of the worst nuclear disasters in history are those which took place at Three Mile Island in the USA in 1979, at Chernobyl in the Ukraine in 1986, and more recently following an earthquake in Fukushima, Japan, in 2011. Nuclear disasters are very dangerous if they do occur, and the possibility of a nuclear disaster represents a primary reason that some people oppose the construction of new nuclear power plants.

March 11,2011, Fukushima, Japan. A near-record earthquake with a 9.0 magnitude occurred off the northeast coast of Japan. It produced a nearly 50-foot high tsunami that flowed over protective walls, killed more than 19,000 people and destroyed or collapsed more than one million buildings. The nuclear reactors at Fukushima withstood the earthquake, but not the tsunami. Within three days, three reactor cores had melted. Within a few months, the plant lost other parts also. The event cause a release of large amounts of radiation. Officials evacuated more than 100,000 people from their homes to prevent radiation sickness. The cleanup continued for many months.

The tactile resonance sensor employed was Venustron -II, ver. 2.5 (Axiom Inc., Fukushima, Japan) (Fig. 1). The principle of this sensor is based on the fact that each object has a characteristic resonance frequency that depends on its stiffness. The difference between the frequencies under nontouching and touching conditions depends on the stiffness of the object, which can be estimated by monitoring change... 

According to European and Italian citizens, scientists who work in public research centers are the most authoritative professionals to explain social impact of science and technology (EC 2010). In this line, we proposed seminars regarding topics of general, current and sometimes crucial interest, implying a continuous interaction with researchers. For example, for the 2011 edition we proposed seminars on Fukushima, Japan, earthquake and on outstanding aspects related to the perception of seismic risk in Rome (i.e. Rome not only earthquakes). The latter format were used also for the Open Day devoted to the presumed prediction of a devastating earthquake in Rome on May 11 which concerned Roman inhabitants and tourists (Amato et al. 2011).
