IAEA Reprot on Fukushima:2015

The IAEA has released the Director General's final report on Fukushima Daiichi. The Press release can be found here... https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/iaea-releases-director-general%E2%80%99s-report-fukushima-daiichi-accident

The summary brochure can be downloaded for free here... https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/fr-brochure.pdf

The full >1200 page document can be purchased for 60 Euros here... http://www-pub.iaea.org/books/IAEABooks/10962/The-Fukushima-Daiichi-Accident

The Japanese Press is mixed, with most of its focus on uncertainty and doubt with respect to long term health effects of radiation and child thyroid cancer, which actually seems to be a relatively minor constituent in the report. The report's main focus seems to be complacency being the main cause of the accident at Fukushima Daiichi.
