Part 1 of the book studies how core melts occurred in Fukushima Daiichi units 1, 2, and 3, respectively, based on evidence from the Three-Mile Island core melt accident and fuel behavior experiments performed in the 1970s under the cooperation between the United States, Germany, and Japan. This information explains the accident processes without contradicting data from Fukushima, which was published in the TEPCO report. The hydrogen explosions in units 1, 3, and 4 are also explained logically in conjunction with the above core melt process. Part 2 clarifies how the background radiation level of the site doubled: The first rise was just a leak from small openings in units 1 and 3 associated with fire-pump connection work. The second rise led to direct radioactive material release from unit 2. Evacuation dose adequacy and its timing are discussed with reference to the accident process, and the necessity for embankments surrounding nuclear power plants to increase protection against natural disasters is also discussed. New proposals for safety design and emergency preparedness are suggested based on lessons learned from the accident as well as from new experiences. Finally, a concept for decommissioning the Fukushima site and a recovery plan are introduced.Nuclear energyQuality controlReliabilityIndustrial safetyNatural disastersEnvironmental monitoringNuclear Energyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/113000Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Riskhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22032Natural Hazardshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000Monitoring/Environmental Analysishttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U1400XNuclear energy.Quality control.Reliability.Industrial safety.Natural disasters.Environmental monitoring.Nuclear Energy.Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk.Natural Hazards.Monitoring/Environmental Analysis.621.042Ishikawa Michioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut978133BOOK9910299616103321A Study of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident Process2228337UNINA
