الدروس المستفادة من حادث محطة فوكوشيما دايتشي للطاقة النووية

Abstract EN

The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (NPP) on 11 March 2011 in Japan reveals the need for the nuclear community to prepare for unexpected circumstances that go beyond the design basis events.

The lessons learned from the accident lead to some international activities that have taken place.

These include the IAEA‘s nuclear safety action plan and the European Commission's nuclear power plant stress test process.

At the time of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, there was a lack in basic knowledge regarding nuclear power and radioactivity, which means that we failed to sufficiently take onboard the experiences of Chernobyl and Three Miles Island accidents.

The Fukushima Daiichi accident imparted many valuable lessons on both technical and economic impacts in utilizing nuclear energy.

The accident has disclosed various existing design weaknesses and vulnerabilities, especially when combination of unprecedented natural phenomena occurs.
