The March 11, 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster showed the tragic consequences that may occur when nuclear technology gets out of control.<\/p>\n
The causes and the process by which the accident occurred have still not been determined, but some people associated with the nuclear power industry continue to promulgate the nuclear safety myth. Arguing that the Fukushima accident was the result of lax management and a larger-than-predicted tsunami, they blithely claim that as long as nuclear power plants are properly managed they can be operated safely.<\/p>\n
From a scientific and technical perspective, and to the extent currently possible, this international symposium will attempt to get to the bottom of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident. The symposium will look at Japan’s nuclear energy policy and how it trivialized safety, and, by analyzing the facts, show how this led to such a massive nuclear accident.<\/p>\n
