After the multiple severe accidents at the Fukushima-Daiichi site on March 11th 2011, the nuclear community reacted in many different ways and directions. One of those was a vast amount of research all over the world. This workshop will try to highlight why understanding these severe accidents unfolding was so important and what we have learned so far. More than focusing on quite specific results, the speaker will try to explain the methodology used with its strengths and weaknesses and to make some reflections about the severe accidents - nuclear safety “bond”.
