This course provides a comprehensive examination of two of the most significant engineering disasters in history: the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident. Through detailed analysis of the events leading up to, during, and after these incidents, participants will gain a deep understanding of the technical, managerial, and societal factors that contributed to these catastrophes.

Drawing upon interdisciplinary perspectives, including engineering, safety science, and ethics, this course aims to extract valuable lessons to enhance risk mitigation strategies and engineering practices in complex systems.
