Japan Reassures Public after Official Says Fukushima 'Not Under Control'
September 13, 2013
The Japanese government is trying to reassure people it is on top of contaminated water leaks at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, after an official at the Tokyo Electric Power Company said the situation is "not under control."
Friday's comments by TEPCO official Kazuhiko Yamashita appeared to contradict Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's assurances to the International Olympic Committee last week. Mr. Abe had described the leaks at Fukushima as under control when advocating for Tokyo's selection as host of the 2020 Olympic Games.
