On 30th October 2014, Prof. Philip Thomas, Prof. William Nuttall and Dr Ian Waddington were at the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation in London to present results from the UK/India NREFS research project, aimed at determining how best to manage in the aftermath of a major nuclear accident.

The NREFS project considers post-Fukushima lessons from a broad public policy perspective, in particular examining the history of nuclear siting decisions, evolving legal considerations, accident mitigation policies (safety, environmental protection and energy security) and the role of insurance in dealing with severe accident risks.

The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation is a UK charity, established in 1988 with a generous benefaction from Daiwa Securities Co Ltd. The Foundation’s purpose is to support closer links between Britain and Japan.
