There are two opposing approaches to answer this question among those who believe that the environmental disaster could definitely have been avoided approaches. If it is restricted to nuclear energy only, nuclear anti-energy feel that this form of energy is simply too risky for the environment, there is no sufficiently effective security standards to prevent a tragedy such as occurred in Fukushima, proposed sources alternative more environmentally friendly energy.

The second group argues that the tragedy could be prevented with the existing security protocols, that they have been developed for this type of facility, the dimension of the disaster occurs because it did not fulfilled the international standard, and the specific technical aspects around which turns the responsibility Tokyo Electric Power Company and Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency still it is not clear if they are negligence or deliberate collusion:
