Fukushima is 'artificial disaster'

A Japanese parliamentary investigation committee today confirmed the incident of the Fukushima I nuclear power plant last year was "an artificial disaster" and not just caused by an earthquake / tsunami.

The final report of the Independent Investigation Commission on the Fukushima nuclear accident said: 'The incident at Fukushima TEPCO nuclear power plant is the result of collusion between government, managers and PEPCO company, and lack of management of the parties'.

'They betrayed the country's right to safety in nuclear incidents. So we conclude that the incident is clearly human-made '.

'We believe that the core material is due to the control systems and organizational systems, which support the wrong decisions and actions, rather than the capacity-related issues of any particular person '.

Fukushima has been badly damaged after the earthquake / tsunami disaster.
caused the largest nuclear crisis in history.

This is the third survey in Japan since the worst nuclear crisis in a generation of the world.

An earlier report by the power plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), said that the magnitude of the earthquake / tsunami has surpassed their imagination and they were unpredictable. .

However, a group of independent scholars and journalists posted their findings in February saying TEPCO could and should have done more.

The report published today calls for further investigation into the impact of the richter 9.0 earthquake and tsunami on the Fukushima reactors.

'Regarding the direct cause of the incident, the committee agreed that we certainly cannot say that any device important to safety is not destroyed by earthquakes' , the report said. .

'We cannot eliminate the possibility that the LOCA incident (loss of cooling capacity) has occurred at the No. 1 reactor'.

Although scientists suspect the information that the cooling system has been destroyed by water currents, the government and TEPCO are still unsure whether the reactors could have been damaged from the dynamic. land.

Japan has such a large system of reactors before the Fukushima incident, nuclear power contributed one-third of Japan's total electricity output.
