According to the International Atomic Energy Agency report, issued on June 1, 2011, there were two major flaws.
- The possibility of a great tsunami happening was badly underestimated.
- There was a general lack of effective oversight by the government regulatory agency.
There were many, many minor flaws that contributed to the disaster, but most were the result of one or both of these problems.

The secondary effects of the Japan earthquake were fires, gas line explosions, and a resulting major tsunami, which in turn was responsible for damage to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

How does Japan's level-7 nuclear crisis at Fukushima in 2011 compare to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster?
The fact that Japan itself has now rated this a level 7 means that they think it is equal, in terms of radiation release into the open environment, to the Chernobyl disaster. The amount of radioactive material released by Cernobyl equaled 400 times the amount released by the Hiroshima Bomb. The Fukushima Plant has thus released about the same amount according to Japan's preliminary estimates. The major difference is that a lot of Fukushima's radiation is going straight into the Pacific Ocean, where it is much less a direct threat to people, but a serious problem for oceanic wildlife.
