Seeking further learning from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster

Abstract

　 As learning from the experience of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster, Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) proposed 30 engineering knowledge which should adopt into nuclear regulation. These points introduced to new regulatory requirements, but there is a question about the sufficiency of the requirement. By Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear disaster, this author has an acute feeling that it is not fully conveyed or misinformed about the dangerousness of nuclear power plant and the risk of radiation exposure. This report considers constructive lessons by reviewing government’s response toward the risk of radiation exposure, regulating authority and electric utilities’ response toward compliance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s new regulatory requirements, and local government’s response toward the safety agreement.
