520 3  The March 11, 2011, Great East Japan Earthquake and 
       tsunami sparked a humanitarian disaster in northeastern 
       Japan. They were responsible for more than 15,900 deaths 
       and 2,600 missing persons as well as physical 
       infrastructure damages exceeding $200 billion. The 
       earthquake and tsunami also initiated a severe nuclear 
       accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. 
       Three of the six reactors at the plant sustained severe 
       core damage and released hydrogen and radioactive 
       materials. Explosion of the released hydrogen damaged 
       three reactor buildings and impeded onsite emergency 
       response efforts. The accident prompted widespread 
       evacuations of local populations, large economic losses, 
       and the eventual shutdown of all nuclear power plants in 
       Japan. Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident
       for Improving Safety and Security of U.S. Nuclear Plants 
       is a study of the Fukushima Daiichi accident. This report 
       examines the causes of the crisis, the performance of 
       safety systems at the plant, and the responses of its 
       operators following the earthquake and tsunami. The report
       then considers the lessons that can be learned and their 
       implications for U.S. safety and storage of spent nuclear 
       fuel and high-level waste, commercial nuclear reactor 
       safety and security regulations, and design improvements. 
       Lessons Learned makes recommendations to improve plant 
       systems, resources, and operator training to enable 
       effective ad hoc responses to severe accidents. This 
       report's recommendations to incorporate modern risk 
       concepts into safety regulations and improve the nuclear 
       safety culture will help the industry prepare for events 
       that could challenge the design of plant structures and 
       lead to a loss of critical safety functions. In providing 
       a broad-scope, high-level examination of the accident, 
       Lessons Learned is meant to complement earlier evaluations
       by industry and regulators. This in-depth review will be 
       an essential resource for the nuclear power industry, 
       policy makers, and anyone interested in the state of U.S. 
       preparedness and response in the face of crisis 
       situations.
