Preface
In 2011, a gigantic tsunami, triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake, caused a catastrophe at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan. The local situation remains critical, and it will take several decades to resolve the consequences of the accident. Many victims of the nuclear disaster are still forced to live away from their homes; they bear various inconveniences, and the accident will have serious impacts on their life and health far into the future. Many social and technical problems must be solved before we can reach closure on the Fukushima Daiichi accident. The accident at Fukushima has undoubtedly damaged people’s trust in nuclear technology. To restore the status of nuclear power generation to that achieved before the Fukushima accident, trust in nuclear technology must be rebuilt. To achieve this, it is essential to analyze in depth the causes of the accident and subsequent responses, and to explain these clearly to people worldwide. Japan is one of the most earthquake- and tsunami-prone countries in th
