The earthquake and tsunami were unforeseen events that led to the shutdown of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, causing disruption in operational and supply chain activities. It highlights the importance of businesses having contingency plans to deal with unexpected events. ISO intervention may be needed in the aftermath of such events to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations, but it was not specifically relevant to the situation at Fukushima. The response by the Japanese government in rescue operations is also important but not directly related to the impact on the power plant and its operations.
