Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) President Naomi Hirose apologized to the company's shareholders on Tuesday for it deliberately covering up the fact that reactors at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant suffered meltdowns following being hit by an earthquake-triggered tsunami in March 2011.
An outside investigation team appointed by the operator of Japan’s damaged Fukushima nuclear plant said on Thursday that an instruction from then-company president to avoid mentioning “meltdown” delayed disclosure of the status of three reactors.
