Could it be because TEPCO has lied about almost everything that has taken place at the Fukushima-Daichi nuclear power since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
The amount of radiation released into the environment
What the actual levels of radiation were in side the plant its self
Lying about and covering-up past accidents and safety violations
Shimizu disappearing for six weeks before going to the stricken areas and apologizing
When the meltdown of the core at Fukushima No.1 took place
TEPCO has been struggling since March 11, when the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant was heavily damaged by an earthquake and tsunami and began leaking radiation. Some 80,000 people living within a 12-mile radius of the plant were evacuated from their homes afterward and many are living in gymnasiums.
The disaster is the world’s worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl in 1986, analysts say.
The company may owe disaster victims in the tens of billions of dollars in compensation and has asked the government for help in paying the bill.
The company has come under harsh criticism, including from Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan, for its handling of the nuclear disaster.
