Commentary - Japanese Press Promotes Wide-spread Distrust

The Japanese Press refuses to give Tepco credit for learning from the past and bringing themselves to a level of acceptable informational transparency. Why does the Press in Japan continue to promote unrestricted cynicism and conveniently ignore what seems to be quite obvious? Continuing to promote unmitigated distrust towards Tepco is a disservice to the Japanese people.

 

Now for some some updates - A nation-wide group of 13,000 citizens have submitted a criminal complaint against Tepco and the now-defunct Nuclear Safety Commission... Forty-one people evacuated from within 30 kilometers of F. Daiichi are jointly suing Tepco for about $25 million... The lead story across Japan is Prime Minister Noda’s dissolution of the Diet’s Lower House (House of Representatives)... Tepco is putting together plans to build a sealed outer structure around F. Daiichi unit #3... Tepco’s deputy site manager for the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear station, Shiro Arai, says “It is too premature to talk about when [our] reactor restarts will happen,” because of the need to meet Tokyo's post-Fukushima mandates concerning safety.
