The Fukushima accident was preventable [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2015 The 11 March 2011 tsunami was probably the fourth largest in the past 100 years and killed over 15 000 people. The magnitude of the design tsunami triggering earthquake affecting this region of Japan had been grossly underestimated, and the tsunami hit the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant (NPP), causing the third most severe accident in an NPP ...
