The paper overviews a number of recently published scientific studies and papers about large-scale nuclear accidents that have impact on human health and environment. The paper explores how national governments and international organizations plan and implement preventive measures, incident response and risk assessment, and assesses the effectiveness of these. The paper largely focuses on the developments following the accident at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear facility in Japan in 2011, which became a watershed moment for all countries with nuclear infrastructure to rethink the risks emanating from operating nuclear facilities.
