Fukushima updates and commentary

Fukushima updates and commentary. Use the link for the full reports.
 
Commentary - The Diet’s NAIIC report’s executive summary seems largely spot-on, drawing only a few questionable conclusions (e.g. keeping the earthquake-as-cause notion open). However, one serious mistake cries out to be exposed. Concerning the IC condenser stoppage on unit #1, the report calls Tepco's actions "irrational". The F. Daiichi unit #1staff’s actions and Tepco’s explanations were entirely correct. On the other hand, questioning the actions of the staff and calling Tepco’s explanations irrational is an exercise in ignorance... Former F. Daiichi plant manager Masao Yoshida’s upcoming video will detail his view on the “full abandonment” issue... The science ministry says the intentional withholding of radiation spread during the early days was justified... Full-scale decontamination of Tamura City by the government has begun... The next three nukes proposed to restart (but not this summer) have been announced... The Tokyo government has proposed that Shunichi Tanaka, an expert in radiation physics, be appointed to head the new nuclear regulatory authority... Disaster Minister Goshi Hosono has gone on record as supporting all of former PM kan’s actions during the nuclear crisis.
