Research and Markets: Global Effects of Japan's Nuclear Disaster 2011 - Report Examines the Roles TEPCO and the Japanese Government

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fac321/global_effects_of) has announced the addition of the "Global Effects of Japan's Nuclear Disaster 2011" report to their offering.

“Global Effects of Japan's Nuclear Disaster 2011”

While the full global effect of the March 2011 nuclear disaster will only be known in the longer-term, this report examines the timeline of events and the initial responses from around the globe.

This report examines the financial liabilities resulting from the disaster, details the nuclear policy responses of 28 countries, and provides a SWOT analysis of TEPCO.

The magnitude 9.0 Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyo-Oki Earthquake and the massive tsunami it produced struck the North East coast of Japan on March 11, 2011, causing widespread destruction. At the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant this disaster led to a loss of emergency cooling systems and subsequently a substantial radiological release in a nuclear accident rivaling Chernobyl and Three Mile Island.

The Fukushima nuclear disaster was one of the biggest nuclear disasters in the history of the nuclear age. As did the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the Fukushima nuclear disaster has raised concerns about the safety of nuclear power and the continued use, and future growth, of nuclear power.

The Fukushima disaster has changed the nuclear power landscape. It continues to have far-reaching effects into many sectors. This report on the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster analyzes the events that led to the massive nuclear accident. It follows the events that took place in all the reactors of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and how they eventually led to the leakage of contaminated water and radiation.

This report examines the roles TEPCO and the Japanese government played following the nuclear accident. It profiles international responses to the Fukushima accident and the reaction of the financial and business community in Japan.
