This book reviews the active faults around nuclear power plants in
Japan and recommends an optimal method of nuclear power regulation
controlled by the Nuclear Regulation Authority of Japan. The active
faults around nuclear power plants have been underestimated in Japan
since the latter half of the 20th century. However, based on the
lessons learned from the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, the
book sheds light on why the risks of active faults were
underestimated, and discusses the optimal scientific method of
assessing those risks. Further, the author shares his experiences in
the new standard for nuclear regulation creation team and in the
active fault survey at the Nuclear Regulation Authority of Japan. This
book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, academic and
policy-makers, as well as non-experts interested in nuclear safety.
