Abstract: Like the earlier nuclear accidents at Three Mile Island (1979)
and Chernobyl (1986), the multiple accidents at the Fukushima Daiichi
nuclear plant has had and will continue to have an impact on the likely
future deployment of nuclear power. This talk will examine what happened at
Fukushima from the viewpoint of academic perspectives on nuclear safety.
This will be followed by an examination of how governments in different
countries have responded to the accident, and how this could affect plans
for constructing nuclear reactors around the world over the coming decades.
The talk will also discuss public attitudes towards nuclear facilities and
the impact of Fukushima on these.
