It was the most severe nuclear accident in Japan on the international nuclear event scale (INES), caused by the largest earthquake and tsunami in Japanese historical records. This article, discusses the interim reports on what had happened, and reviews the lessons learnt from the accident by Japanese society and internationally. However, some points require further study, because the Fukushima Daiichi accident has not yet completely ended, and there are implications for the real meaning of nuclear governance and best practice. In particular the road map toward full decommissioning will require another thirty to forty years to eventuate.
