International Conference on a Decade of Progress after Fukushima-Daiichi: Building on the Lessons Learned to Further Strengthen Nuclear Safety.

Objectives

The conference will focus on looking back on the lessons learned, experiences shared, results, and achievements from actions undertaken by national, regional, and international communities following the accident and identifying ways for further strengthening nuclear safety. 

Pursuing these objectives, the Conference will gather internationally recognized high-level safety experts and other leaders to discuss initiatives taken in the aftermath of the accident, and initiatives for further strengthening nuclear safety.

Topics and Discussion Panels

The programme will be comprised of high-level policy and technical discussions on the overall themes central to the Conference. Furthermore, the programme structure has been developed using technical sessions augmented by dynamic narrative panels. This approach ensures that the Conference covers technical content while still driving the interest of all participants and providing opportunities for comments and feedback.

The Conference will cover topics such as:

  • Ensuring the safe generation of nuclear power;

  • Emergency preparedness and response;

  • Radiation safety;

  • Post-accident recovery;

  • International cooperation;

  • Leadership and management for safety;

  • Communication and trust building;

  • International legal instruments for safety;

  • Facing new challenges;

  • Safety for nuclear power development.
