Expert Panel: Fukushima Nuclear Disaster Was Result Of ‘Collusion’ Between Japanese Government, Regulators And Plant Operators | Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant accident last year was a preventable disaster resulting from “collusion” between the Japanese government, regulators and the plant operator, an expert panel said in a report released today. The panel found that the Fukushima nuclear disaster was the result of “man-made” failures before and after the March 11, 2011, earthquake. “Across the board, the Commission found ignorance and arrogance unforgivable for anyone or any organization that deals with nuclear power,” said the report. “We found a disregard for global trends and a disregard for public safety.”
