preparedness and response in the face of crisis situations.Ģ Background on Japanese and U.S. This in-depth review will be an essential resource for the nuclear power industry, policy makers, and anyone interested in the state of U.S. In providing a broad-scope, high-level examination of the accident, Lessons Learned is meant to complement earlier evaluations by industry and regulators. This report's recommendations to incorporate modern risk concepts into safety regulations and improve the nuclear safety culture will help the industry prepare for events that could challenge the design of plant structures and lead to a loss of critical safety functions. Lessons Learned makes recommendations to improve plant systems, resources, and operator training to enable effective ad hoc responses to severe accidents. safety and storage of spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste, commercial nuclear reactor safety and security regulations, and design improvements. The report then considers the lessons that can be learned and their implications for U.S. This report examines the causes of the crisis, the performance of safety systems at the plant, and the responses of its operators following the earthquake and tsunami. Nuclear Plants is a study of the Fukushima Daiichi accident. Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident for Improving Safety and Security of U.S. The accident prompted widespread evacuations of local populations, large economic losses, and the eventual shutdown of all nuclear power plants in Japan. Explosion of the released hydrogen damaged three reactor buildings and impeded onsite emergency response efforts. Three of the six reactors at the plant sustained severe core damage and released hydrogen and radioactive materials. The earthquake and tsunami also initiated a severe nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
They were responsible for more than 15,900 deaths and 2,600 missing persons as well as physical infrastructure damages exceeding $200 billion. The March 11, 2011, Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami sparked a humanitarian disaster in northeastern Japan.
