"It was a profoundly man-made disaster - that could and should have been foreseen and prevented."
After six months of investigation, the panel concluded that the disaster "was the result of collusion between the government, the regulators and Tepco" founded in the failure of regulatory systems.
It said that the situation at the plant worsened in the aftermath of the earthquake because government agencies "did not function correctly", with key roles left ambiguous.
It also highlighted communication failures between Tepco and the office of then Prime Minister Naoto Kan, whose visit to the site in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake "diverted" staff.

日本国会福岛核事故调查委员会近日公布调查报告,称福岛核事故“完全是人为灾难”。
报告称,“有关人员本应预见到这起事故并予以避免”,而事故的后果“也本应通过更有效的应对措施得以缓解”。
报告将政府以及负责核电站经营的东京电力公司的严重应对失误进行了分类。
报告还指责了日本的文化传统,以及人们不愿意质询当局的习惯。
2011年3月11日的日本强震及海啸摧毁了核反应堆的冷却系统,使拥有6座核反应堆的福岛第一核电站损毁严重,导致堆芯熔毁,引发辐射物质泄漏。
