ASIA NEWS
APRIL 23, 2011.Tokyo Takes Over PR From Plant Operator

By MITSURU OBE and TOKO SEKIGUCHI

TOKYO—Japan's government said it will largely take over speaking for embattled Tokyo Electric Power Co., after six weeks of nuclear crisis at the company's Fukushima Daiichi power complex have often generated conflicting reports from the government and Tepco. snip

Tepco's briefings have at times turned confrontational. "You guys lack accountability," some reporters have shouted, eliciting apologies from Tepco spokesmen. "Who is the person overseeing this operation?" asked one reporter at a briefing earlier this month on Tepco's planned discharge of lightly radioactive water into the ocean. "Why can he not come here? Tell me his name. Who is it? Go up and find out right now. Go right now. Go right now."
