The Nuclear Agency manipulated testimony of Fukushima workers

Although 8 actual Fukushima workers, including former chief Yoshida, stated that the main steam isolation valves were closed when the 3/11 tsunami hit Reactor 1, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) recoded it as “It is unknown that main steam isolation valves were closed or not.” at the request of Tepco’s head office.

The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency made the report about the Fukushima accident in August and published it in September. They manipulated the testimony from August.

In August, 8 Fukushima workers testified that two valves were closed when they were question about the emergency condensers when tsunami hit the reactor 1. However, the head office of Tepco required The Nuclear Agency to record “The state of the valves were unknown”, the Nuclear Agency acquiesced to their “request” and made the false report about the accident.

The Nuclear Agency explains that they investigated on the assumption of that they will not disclose the report. They valued the request of Tepco.

There are 20 parts censored/redacted on their report too. The Nuclear Agency again said that it is at the request of Tepco.

前所長らの証言内容、保安院が東電依頼で修正
2011/12/7 10:37

経済産業省原子力安全・保安院が東京電力福島第1原子力発電所の吉田昌郎・前所長らに現場の状況などを聴取した結果の概要を9月に発表した際、東電本店の依頼に応じて、証言の内容を修正していたことが6日に保安院が公開した聴取結果の資料から分かった。

保安院は「(事実関係が確認できず)表現を東電と調整した」と説明している。事故発生当初の現場関係者の声に手を加えて発表してきたことになり、調査の信頼性が問われそうだ。

保安院は8月に吉田前所長ら8人に聴取し、9月に結果の概要版を発表した。概要版では、福島第1原発1号機の非常用復水器2台の津波襲来時の運転状況について「両方とも隔離弁の開閉状態は不明」としていた。

ところが6日公開された聴取結果の資料によると、現場関係者は「両方とも閉止していた」と証言。保安院によると、概要版公表前に内容を調整し、東電側が証言が事実かどうか不明と主張したため「不明」と書き換えたという。

保安院は「公開しない前提で調査し(東電の)意向を尊重した」と説明。聴取結果の資料の20カ所以上の黒塗り部分についても「東電の依頼で非公開にした」という。

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
