Japan 'underestimated' tsunami hazard
A UN nuclear safety team on a visit to the country has said that Japan underestimated the risk of a tsunami hitting a nuclear power plant.
However, the response to the nuclear disaster which followed the 11 March quake and tsunami was "exemplary".
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team also said a "hardened" emergency response centre was needed.
The BBC's Roland Buerk outlined the UN's findings.
