"the IAEA in boosting nuclear safety, including its response mechanism"". On 28 March 2011, at a special briefing on the Fukshima nuclear accidents held for IAEA Member States, IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano announced that a high-level ""IAEA Conference on Nuclear Safety"" should take place in Vienna. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Japan ""underestimated the danger of tsunamis and failed to prepare adequate backup systems at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant"". This repeated a widely held criticism in Japan that ""collusive ties between regulators and industry led to weak oversight and a failure to ensure adequate safety levels"
