Panel: Kyushu Electric destroyed evidence

A panel investigating attempts by Kyushu Electric Power Company to manipulate public opinion via an e-mail scam says that the utility has destroyed evidence related to the probe.

The panel was set up after workers at Kyushu Electric and its affiliates were found to have sent e-mails in favor of restarting the Genkai nuclear plant in Saga Prefecture during a government meeting with local residents in June.

Panel head Nobuo Gohara told reporters on Tuesday that the utility destroyed documents related to its activities in 2005 to try to win public support for using plutonium-uranium mixed-oxide fuel at the plant.

He said the utility's nuclear energy division removed and destroyed the documents on July 21st.

Gohara added that the company's Saga branch tried to dispose of 15 files his panel had requested last week after beginning the probe.

Gohara claims that Akira Nakamura, the deputy head of the nuclear energy division, ordered the destruction of documents that could cause trouble to individuals.

Nakamura also allegedly played a role in the e-mail scam.

Japan could pick Kan's successor in late Aug.

TOKYO, Aug. 10, Kyodo

Prime Minister Naoto Kan said Wednesday he is ready to step down soon after two key bills are passed in parliament, which looks likely by late August.

''When they are enacted, we will quickly prepare for the Democratic Party of Japan's presidential election,'' Kan told a parliamentary session, adding that he is ready to leave office after the party's new leader is picked.

The DPJ leadership is exploring the possibility of holding the party's presidential election on Aug. 28 to pick Kan's successor, who will be Japan's sixth leader in five years.

@Edano fighting back that is good they need to

On July 7, 2011, an on-site inspection by NISA was conducted at Fukushima
Daiichi Nuclear Power Station since the identities of the station's
workers were unable to be confirmed.
At the time, since it was also revealed that original official
identification was not being verified and the worker's identification was
not being presented in person during the issuing of the worker's
identification in accordance with the physical protection program's access
control procedures, we received a cautionary document regarding
improvement of access control from NISA.
(Previously announced on August 1, 2011)

We compiled the following items and reported to NISA today.

(1) Improvement of Access Control
1. Since July 19, 2011, we have conducted identification by official
identification with photo (car license, passport, basic resident
register with photo, foreign resident' registration card).

2. Since July 19, 2011, we changed the procedure that we directly
handed an access permission to an individual.

3. In addition, to strictly check identification, since July 29, 2011,
we have started issuance of access permission with photo (entering
registration card). (newly announced this time)

(2) Survey Results for Persons whom we could not Contact
As of August 8, there are 150 persons (TEPCO employee: 0, Partner
Company's employee: 150) whom we could not contact.
March: 11 persons, April: 66 persons, May: 73 persons

We will continue to steadily conduct the access control to the nuclear
power stations

End

Enforcement of access control procedures at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear
Power Station of Tokyo Electric Power Company (Cautionary Memo)
(July 27, NISA)

We have provided a Japanese press release version of the instruction
document received from NISA. However, at this time we have reserved the
right to not provide an English version due to potential misunderstandings
that may arise from an inaccurate rendering of the original Japanese text.

We may provide the English translation that NISA releases in our press
releases. However, in principle we would advise you to visit the NISA
website for timely and accurate information. www.tepco.co.jp

@Edano and if people dont buy them they will be processed and dispersed in other form no doubt

@Edano screen splatter

@Edano twitter is still getting a focus on the workers not being able to drink for long periods, if anything the situation sounds to be worsening

@dean morning

@dean what do you think the sampling will tell us?

checking it now elaine ty

elaine, the gas sampling will certainly let them know the air activity levels and hopefully isotopes so they may determine how they will enter it and set up the HVAC to try and remove the air activitiy

I just shook my head at that Edano

@dean @Edano I wonder if it could be put in plain English and put on simply? I think they deliberately confuse and drown peep in pseudo techi

@Majj drat I saw something earlier the quake ground movement tests show that tokyo is now sitting atop the next major earthquake

good morning Majj

don't all govmts have an auxiliary residence ?

that opened the survey map list on my end.. I just looked at the most recent @ Edano
