2.6. HUMAN AND ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS -
Observations and Lessons (1)
Observation:
Over time, the stakeholders of the Japanese nuclear industry developed a
shared basic assumption that that plants were safe
.
•
Led stakeholders to believe that a nuclear accident would not happen;
Thwarted their ability to anticipate, prevent and mitigate the consequences of the
earthquake triggering the Fukushima Daiichi Accident;
Lessons Learned:
The possibility of the unexpected needs to be integrated into the existing
worldwide approach to nuclear safety - including considerations for
emergency preparedness.
Individuals and organizations need to consciously and continuously
question their own basic assumption and their implications on actions that
impact nuclear safety.
