About the course 'Case Study Fukushima'

On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake triggered a devastating tsunami that struck the Fukushima nuclear power plant. This event resulted in a nuclear meltdown and a release of radioactive material. This disaster is an example of a non-intentional threat (safety) to vital interests in modern society.

In this course, students will delve into the Fukushima case and explore the broader topic of nuclear safety by drawign upon knowledge and methods from relevant academic disciplines. At the end of this course, they will be able to review an event, or a series of cascading events, through multiple academic lenses and analytical framework within the realm of security and safety.

By following the logic of interdisciplinary thinking, students will develop the ability and skills necessary to understand and explain nuclear accidents and disasters in terms of causes, effects, and implications for organisations (public and private), citizens, and the natural environment.
