Prof. Joonhong Ahn (1958–2016)
We dedicate this book Resilience: A New
Paradigm of Nuclear Safety to the memory of
Prof. Joonhong Ahn of the University of
California Berkeley, who served as
co-organizer of the underlying workshop and
co-editor of this book.

scientist, educator and human being, deeply
committed to the peaceful and safe use of
nuclear power for the development of
emerging regions of the world, particularly
Asia. After the disaster at the Fukushima
Daiichi Reactor complex in 2011, he traveled
to Japan and neighboring countries more
than fifty times to provide counsel and
assistance on the remediation efforts,
advising governments, industry and academia
on the path forward to help reestablish
confidence in the paradigm of nuclear power
