Abstract EN
As part of the development of an integrated perspective on lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident, this paper highlights lessons learned and implications relating to the accident information and system operational aspects during the events.
Our analysis clearly indicates that the plant was neither designed nor prepared to withstand such an unexpected event, which included a complete loss of electrical power sources for a long period.
The author focused on the accident information and system operational aspects of the Fukushima event, including lack of information, provision of wrong information, operator performance in life-threatening environments, and improvisation given lack of procedures and training.
Suggestions for further improvement of the nuclear plant safety are then made with respect to preparation for beyond design basis events, provision of reliable essential information to operators, development of guidelines/procedures, training of operators, and development of operator support systems with consideration of severe accidents caused by unexpected events.
It is hoped that the lessons learned from the accident will significantly contribute to the enhancement of nuclear plant safety.
