Another fire at a Japanese nuclear plant. Don’t worry, though:
TEPCO spokesman Naoyuki Matsumoto says there’s no fear of a radiation leak due to the fire.
Thank Heavens TEPCO is here to announce that everything is under control, and that there is nothing to worry about. Especially radiation. Whew.
And those of us who criticize, rather than fellate, traditional Japanese management practices are still wa-a-ay off base. Probably just racists. Not a management-improving thought in our empty heads.
Note that I am not criticizing the fact that there was a fire. Accidents happen, and while not at all desirable, are still “in bounds” for management. I am criticizing the fact the TEPCO has zero credibility left, after decades of consistently lying and covering up problems large and small, public and private while avoiding actually fixing things.
Soon, the wind will be from the northeast where I live, due to inflow to Supertyphoon Songda.
