Nuclear crisis management. A lesson to learn from TEPCO

Nuclears are safe, but from time to time certain incidents could happen. In these occassions is very important to manage the situation properly, and TEPCO has given a brilliant lesson that wil not be forgotten.

To prove that, just  a sample of their press releases, that could be consulted in their web site:

http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/press/corp-com/release/index-e.html

11/03 Very normal
12/03 No radiation impact

 18/03 Marvels of nature

 22/03 The dividend goes first

  
27/03 A wrong judgement
28/03 Plutonium poses no impact on human health

29/03 An error
31/03 Response Division, a correction and an "advice"


03/04 Missing for almost a month
04/04 Do not eat adjacent fish!
05/04 re-evaluating


06/04 painfully aware of their feelings


08/04 another correction
11/04 One month after, strive hard to achieve steady supply

12/04 And just one day after the comments on "one month pasage"




Level 7 is not that dangerous. It is the same as in the case of Chernobyl, and remember that there were only 50 persons dead. Thousands of persons affectes with  cancer and hundreds of thousands of "evacuated" people are only a small collateral damage.
