Abstract:

"Investigations of the #FukushimaNuclearPowerAccident sequence revealed the man-made character of the catastrophe and its roots in regulatory capture effected by a network of corruption, #collusion, and #nepotism. A review of corruption incidents in the global nuclear industry during 2012-2013 reveals that the Japanese experience is not isolated. Gross corruption is evident in #nuclear technology exporting countries such as #Russia, #China, and the #UnitedStates, and in a number of nuclear technology importing countries. The survey results make clear that national nuclear regulatory regimes are inadequate and that the global regime is virtually completely ineffective. Widespread corruption of the nuclear industry has profound social and political consequences resulting from the corrosion of public trust in companies, governments, and energy systems themselves."
