The report, The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident: OECD/NEA Nuclear Safety Response and Lessons Learnt, outlines and analyses the actions taken by the organization's member countries in response to the 2011 accident at the Japanese plant. It provides key messages for ensuring high levels of nuclear safety going forward.
