The utility behind Japan's nuclear disaster acknowledged for the first time Friday that it could have avoided the crisis.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. said in a statement that it had known safety improvements were needed before last year's tsunami triggered three meltdowns, but it had feared the political, economic and legal consequences of implementing them.

"When looking back on the accident, the problem was that preparations were not made in advance," TEPCO's internal reform task force, led by company President Naomi Hirose, said in the statement. "Could necessary measures have been taken with previous tsunami evaluations? It was possible to take action" by adopting more extensive safety measures, the task force said.

1. Say what?

It is everyone's fault except the for Tokyo Electric Power Company?

"....it had feared the political, economic and legal consequences of implementing..." the measures needed to keep their NPP's from blowing sky-high and melting into the Earth.

Yeah, Bubba, it is your fault. They feared you and so they could do nothing. Nothing I tell you. Nothing.

It is the anti-nukers fault!!
