Nuclear regulator to re-investigate Fukushima nuclear disaster

The whole story of this plant after 2011 Fukushima is a way bigger disaster than the original tragedy.

Waste of time. They had 8 years to destroy any incriminating evidence.

I would not poo poo this. Japan has dozens of reactors and its even in the corporatists' best interest to avoid another disaster as its bad for profits. Not that they care about us, but I suspect they also don't to eat or have their family eat lobster with strontium 90 in it.

I guess the results of previous probes were not sufficiently positive. Why not let an international third party team into the plant to do a thorough and impartial investigation? This is like asking high school kids to check their own exams.

How deep will they go? Will they dig up and re-examine the Israeli Stuxnet contamination story too while they are at it?

Nuclear regulator to re-investigate Fukushima nuclear disaster

yeah. sure.

The IAEA has had an investigation going on. The investigator posts on twitter. He Pro Nuke so you can guess what he has to say.

@Melissa - Yes, the IAEA mission is to promote the safe use of nuclear power. Can hardly see them going in depth and criticising TEPCO's flawed and earlier corrupt management.

Japan's nuclear regulator The first word makes the whole article meaningless.

They must lie about it!

Let multiple countries do this!

It's 3.6 roentgen. Like in Chernobyl miniseries.

Of all the "hubris instead of quality control" problems in Japanese industry, this one is the biggest.

I think it is much more appropriate to view this as an industrial accident than a natural disaster. The human factor is much too high to blame it on nature.

Funniest statement I've read for a long time! I'm sure a word is missing so I've included it in parenthesis.

"TEPCO said it was ready to help. "If requested in the future, we would like to proactively cooperate in the investigation, such as providing necessary (fake) data," a spokesman said."

Living in Japan is like being in that movie,'Being John Malkovich.'

In Sweden they have shooten rain deer before the Chernobyl disaster with higher radiation than recommended.

In the 60th the background radiation were higher as effect of overground explosion of nuclear weapon in the Nevada desert in US. After that the world background radiation have decreased.

You may also at the positive side or radiation as it is used for treatment of cancers worldwide. Low level radiation may also have a vaccination effect. More studies about that ought to be performed,

The higheast background radiation in Sweden quite more than in Fukushima have also the higheast life length.

So the reality is more complex than only to avoid radiation. Yourself have an internal radiation which means that a group of four persons do have as heavy radiation level as the Harrisburg.

They're looking for an excuse to restart Nuclear Power generation in Japan.

The investigation will make some recommendations, these will be applied, and a subsequent rubber-stamp OK will be given to the restart of all Nuclear reactors around Japan...

Just can't let it go can they

They're going to have to dump the radioactive water soon. Which is more important, the nuclear lobby or the fishing lobby?
