This book-the culmination of a truly collaborative international
and highly interdisciplinary effort-brings together Japanese and
American political scientists, nuclear engineers, historians, and
physicists to examine the Fukushima accident from a new and broad
perspective. It explains the complex interactions between nuclear
safety risks (the causes and consequences of accidents) and nuclear
security risks (the causes and consequences of sabotage or
terrorist attacks), exposing the possible vulnerabilities all
countries may have if they fail to learn from this accident. The
book further analyzes the lessons of Fukushima in comparative
perspective, focusing on the politics of safety and emergency
preparedness. It first compares the different policies and
procedures adopted by various nuclear facilities in Japan and then
discusses the lessons learned-and not learned-after major nuclear
accidents and incidents in other countries in the past. The book's
editors conclude that learning lessons across nations has proven to
be very difficult, and they propose new policies to improve global
learning after nuclear accidents or attacks.
