Fishermen lambaste TEPCO over radioactive water leaks

Representatives of Japan's national fishermen's federation visited Tokyo Electric Power Co. headquarters on July 25 to hand in a letter of protest over the recent leakage of radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant into the sea.

"We are exasperated at the development, which is an act of treason to all fishing industry workers and to all members of the public in Japan," read part of the letter addressed to Naomi Hirose, the corporate president.

Tetsu Nozaki, head of the Fukushima Prefectural Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Associations, also attended the meeting.

Lying and treachery are in their DNA - they don't know how to deal honestly.

I will celebrate mightily the day all nuclear power plants are shut down and disassembled.

They hid this until after the elections to help the right-wing pro-nuclear LDP win elections.
