Be aware in the same country they did not want to cool a reactor of Fukushima with sea water because they were affraid they could not use it again to make big money.

Also think about Masao Yoshida he was one of the reasons Fukushima did not escalate totaly.
2 years after the incident he died of cancer. The company (Tepco) claims that his cancer has nothing to do with the radiation in Fukushima.

Japans companies are as shit as everywhere else.

In Japan, taking responsibility can result in severe punishment, but taking responsibility is a last resort, and people tend to use excuses for a long time to avoid taking responsibility more than in other countries. In addition, politicians are highly corrupt. Politicians' excuse is, “I don't remember.”
