in Diet's Report (Reported to Diet in July 2012)
Message from Chairman
NAIIC: The National Diet's Fukushima Nuclear Accident
Independent Investigation Commission
■ ... this was a disaster "Made in Japan." Its fundamental causes
are to be found in the ... Japanese culture: our reflexive
obedience; our reluctance to question authority; ... and our
insularity.
Organizational issues ...
actual relationship lacked independence and transparency,
In fact, it was a typical example of "regulatory capture," .
Lack of expertise
the two incorporated technical agencies advising NISA, namely,
JNES and JAEA, have been too rigidly tied to NISA ....
Conclusions
The lack of expertise resulted in "regulatory capture,"...
They avoided their direct responsibilities by letting
operators apply regulations on a voluntary basis.
