"The question tt emerged in stark relief was: Who would be called upon to risk their lives to stop the runaway nuclear reactors?"
👉Answer: Certainly none of te irresponsible #Tokyo-based top management of #TEPCO (they "kept quiet"!🤦‍♂️), despite their callous company's responsibility for the unfolding #nuclear #disaster. These Tepco SOBs didn't even give their Fukushima team sufficient support!😠

OPINION🧐: #Japan must toughen #nuclear #regulation after #Hamaoka data #falsification
"In terms of #misconduct, #ChubuElectric surpasses #TEPCO.. 4yrs b4 te accident, regulators strongly urged TEPCO to take countermeasures against tsunamis tt exceeded prev assumptions, but were brushed off, later saying TEPCO "didn't respond +vely." These failures were kept hidden for ~7yrs aft te accident.. seems tt Nuclear Regulation Authority's still taken lightly by power #utilities"🤦‍♂️
