Rebuild Japan Initiative Foundation – Reform the Japanese power system. Nationalize Tepco

Reform the Japanese power system. Nationalize Tepco. Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Kay Kitazawa, May 25, 2012. Article Highlights:

  • “The Japanese government has agreed to inject huge amounts of capital into the Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), keeping it in business as the primary vehicle for dealing with the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
  • This approach tells other Japanese utilities with nuclear plants they are too big to fail and leaves in place the Tepco corporate culture responsible for the accident.
  • The Japanese government needs to fully nationalize and dismantle Tepco, taking direct control of responses to the Fukushima disaster and opening the utility’s transmission system to alternative energy producers.”
