While growing up in Japan, I often heard explain how secretive the Japanese were about just about anything sensitive. My father worked at the US Embassy in Tokyo.
While the Japanese are a lovely people, it's no surprise that it has been difficult for us to get enough information about what is really happening with Fukushima Daiichi's nuclear accidents. I generally have a high enough level of trust for the Japanese, it's simply that Japanese culture places a higher emphasis on secrecy than most other countries.
The world's nuclear power safety industry will learn more about Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster as time unfolds. This is needed for us to innovate nuclear safety systems. But don't expect to learn everything about what happened in Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants.
NY Times article is beginning to expose questions about failure to practice proper nuclear safety protocols in their March 19, 2001 article http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/20/world/asia/20time.html?_r=1&ref=world
Follow us as more is being learned.
