The Japanese culture of obscurity and cover ups is not gonna work this time.

TEPCO said it had detected similar damage in all of the filters two years ago, but never investigated the cause of the problem and did not take any preventive steps after replacing the filters.

Radioactive pollution ongoing and building up in the environment.

Who could have imagined?

When are TEPCO management going to start going to Jail for this insanity?

They knew they were broken and did nothing. Surely that is a crime!!!???

Does that mean, it’s all again silently blown contaminating into the air, and then with load propaganda cleanly led into the sea? Something like that? Correct me, if I understood that wrong and that’s not the essence of what has been revealed.

WOW!! I am totally surprised and flabbergasted at this unprecedented information that TEPCO were found to have a terribly lax attitude towards safety issues at their crippled and melted nuclear power plant.......

"...Akira Ono, head of TEPCO's decommissioning unit, said he regretted the utility's failure to address the problem earlier. He promised to improve safety management..."

Well as long as you showed the appropriate regret and you pinky promise that you will of course improve the safety management then all is forgiven Akira.......as you were
