The Japanese government has expressed readiness to share with members of the world nuclear monitoring agency lessons it learned from the nuclear disaster in Fukushima in 2011.
The board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency held a meeting behind closed doors in Vienna on Wednesday to discuss a comprehensive report on the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
The report was co-produced by 180 experts from over 40 countries. It blames Japan's excessively firm belief in the safety of its nuclear power plants for its unpreparedness for the 2011 disaster, which was triggered by a massive earthquake and tsunami.
The ambassador for the Permanent Mission of Japan to the International Organizations in Vienna, Mitsuru Kitano, stressed Japan's responsibility to share experiences and lessons learned from the disaster.
He pledged to ensure the safety of nuclear power.
He also briefed participants on the Japanese government's handling of the disaster. He added that it is most important that transparency is secured when sharing the information.
The IAEA plans to draw lessons from the Fukushima disaster to improve the safety of power plants across the globe.
It is to examine opinions of member states in submitting a final report when the agency convenes a general assembly in September.
