The purpose of this work is to perform a critical analysis of the Fukushima nuclear accident, focusing at the common cause failures produced by tsunami, as well as an analysis of the main redundant systems. This work also assesses the mitigative procedures and the subsequent consequences of such...
A Tokyo High Court says only Tepco is culpable for the 2011 nuke accident. The court ordered Tepco to pay $165,000 in damages to 44 plaintiffs. Judge Hiro Misumi said the flooding of the plant because the tsunami wasn't preventable even if the industry ministry used its authority and orde...

If, after the Fukushima accident, individuals who considered purchasing a home close to nuclear reactors revised their prior of the risk of a nuclear power plant accident upwards, home prices close to reactor sites are predicted to have fallen relative to home prices farther away from reactor ...
First, four implicit precursors have been obtained by evaluating the causality and hierarchy structure of various accident factors. Eventually, it turned out they represent the lack of knowledge. After four precursors are selected, sub-precursors have been investigated and their cause鈥揷onsequence ...
“The testimony of the first foreign journalist to arrive on the site of the accident unearths the truth about the Fukushima nuclear disaster. An exceptional movie” Naoto Kan (Japan Ex-premier) A four-year long journey in the twofold tragedy that befell Japan in the March 2011, directed by...

accident at FDNPS by finding that the shaking from the earthquake was within the expected range and was not the cause of the damage to the nuclear reactors, and rather that the subsequent tsunami, which was beyond expectations, was the cause. Such an approach is in part enabled by the ...
Hit by a magnitude-9.0 earthquake and an ensuing tsunami on March 11, 2011, the Fukushima plant suffered core meltdowns that released radiation, resulting in a level-7 nuclear accident, the highest on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale. ...
The cause-and-effect relationship between the catastrophic accident at the power plant and the suffering of local residents is as follows. The ground motion and tsunami caused by the earthquake caused many pieces of plant equipment to fail and damaged the nuclear reactors so severely that large qu...
