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.
Recent tests carried out by the Tokyo Electric Power Co.(TEPCO) found little or no nuclear fuel in its original location inside some reactors at the Fukushima plant, a nuclear expert told Xinhua in an interview.
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.
Japan's nuclear regulator on Wednesday green-lit a plan for the embattled operator of the disaster-hit Fukushima nuclear power plant in the northeast to start freezing soil around its battered reactor buildings, in a bid to reduce the massive amounts of radioactive water accumulating in the buildings.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) vowed to its shareholders Thursday that it would push to restart its idled reactors under a new turnaround initiative, with the reactors at its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in Niigata Prefecture, the world's largest nuclear complex, being viewed by the utility as indispensable to providing power in Japan and ensuring the company's survival.
Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority blasted Tokyo Electric Power Co. Wednesday for its inappropriate handling of fuel rods at its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in Niigata Prefecture which caused some of the highly volatile rods to be damaged.
