Chief Nuclear Inspector's report on lessons from Fukushima

摘要

An analysis of the Fukushima Daiichi accident reveals no fundamental safety weaknesses in the UK's nuclear industry but concludes that by learning lessons it can be made even safer. Mike Weightman, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Nuclear Installations and Executive Head of the Office for Nuclear Regulation, has published a report in which he points to Government, industry and regulators to review 38 areas where he concludes lessons can be learned in the UK from the nuclear crisis in Japan. These include reliance on off-site infrastructure such as the electrical grid supply in extreme events, emergency response arrangements, layout of plant, risks associated with flooding, planning controls around nuclear facilities and prioritising safety reviews.
