Panel says there was no "Cover-Up" at Fukushima

TOKYO —

An independent panel said Wednesday that the operator of Japan’s tsunami-crippled nuclear plant misinformed investigators and blocked an inspection of key equipment last year, but that it was not part of a cover-up.

The case involves a parliamentary probe of equipment at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant’s No. 1 reactor. An investigator said he and his fellow team members had to scrap an inspection of the reactor’s emergency cooling equipment, accusing plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co, or TEPCO, of falsely stating that the building was dark and too dangerous.

Remember there was no "Cover-Up" while TEPCO was busy trying to cover-up its failures.

The TEPCO official who turned away the investigators also insisted that the building was badly damaged, with highly contaminated debris scattered around, and said a visitor could fall through a hole in the floor in the dark, Tanaka said. TEPCO also refused to provide escorts for the investigators if they insisted on entering the No. 1 reactor.
“They ridiculed the parliamentary investigation,” Tanaka told a news conference last month.

Even though TEPCO Covered-Up the amount of damage the plant sustained there was no Cover-Up that they were busy Covering-Up
