The importance of investigating the severe accident from various perspectives by parties of
different standings is without question. However, nuclear power generation is the fruits of technical
R&D, and this inevitably calls for an investigation by scientists and technical experts. At the core of
this investigation are six nuclear experts in support of Hiroyuki Abe’s strong views that experts
involved in promoting nuclear power generation and nuclear safety should be held responsible for
investigating the causes of the accident.
The belief in “absolutely safe”, or the “safety myth” of a nuclear power plant has unfortunately
spread widely throughout Japan. However, there is nothing that is “absolutely safe”; all things in life,
both natural and man-made carry a certain risk in opposition to their benefits. For nuclear power
plants, not only the government and the operators, but also experts in the nuclear field are
responsible for having neglected to appropriately communicate risks associated with nuclear power
to the public.
This event provides basic approaches or concepts for prevention of the recurrence of severe
accidents like the Fukushima accident, as well as the establishment of nationwide consensus on the
benefit and the risk in utilization of nuclear power.
