\nFollowing the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in 2011, Rebuild Japan Initiative (later Asia Pacific Initiative) set up the Independent Investigation Commission on the Fukushima Nuclear Accident to investigate the crisis and the structural background that allowed it to happen, publishing its report in 2012 (English version in 2014).<\/p>\n
In 2019, API formed the 10-Year Investigation Commission on the Fukushima Nuclear Accident to once again face this crisis, review the issues and lessons raised in 2012, and examine to what extent Japan has or has not learned its lessons from the crisis.<\/p>\n
The 2012 report concluded with the words that the Fukushima tragedy is \u201cnot to be forgotten.\u201d Constantly examining and learning from tragic events, accidents, and events in human society is the most sincere way to \u201cnot forget.\u201d Re-establishing an independent investigation team to look into \u201cFukushima ten years on\u201d is a part of exactly that exercise.<\/p>\n
The report will be translated and made available in English later this year.<\/p>\n
