FOREWORD -Yukiya Amano, IAEA Director General
"This report presents an assessment of the causes and consequences of the
accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan, which began
on 11 March 2011. Caused by a huge tsunami that followed a massive
earthquake, it was the worst accident at a nuclear power plant since the
Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
The report considers human, organizational and technical factors, and aims to
provide an understanding of what happened, and why, so that the necessary
lessons learned can be acted upon by governments, regulators and nuclear
power plant operators throughout the world. Measures taken in response to the
accident, both in Japan and internationally, are also examined...”
"There can be no grounds for complacency about nuclear safety in any country.
Some of the factors that contributed to the Fukushima Daiichi accident were not
unique to Japan. Continuous questioning and openness to learning from
experience are key to safety culture and are essential for everyone involved in
nuclear power. Safety must always come first."
