[...] Former Tepco executives, workers, police officials, as well as investigative journalist, Katsunobu Onda, author of TEPCO: The Dark Empire, all agree: Tepco have always known they were working with the yakuza; they just didn’t care. However, the articles Suzuki wrote before his book was published, and my own work, helped create enough public outcry to force Tepco into action. On July 19, four months after the meltdowns, they announced that they would be cutting ties with organised crime.

    Then..it becomes clear that the executives of TEPCO and the Yakuza…in full cooperation with each other… are complicit of the creating and covering up the ongoing nuclear disaster.
    These very same… are guilty of crimes against their fellow countrymen and against humanity.
    Now.now…the Yakuza..are known criminals…it should be easy to send them to the gallows.
    The rest…(Japanese gov.) should off themselves in their rooms.

    It amazing how the international community stands tall, when it comes to preventing 'certain' nations from acquiring this technology. Yet, when it comes to known crime syndicates controlling an entire nation's nuclear power industry, we don't hear a peep from anyone. It's just disgusting…

    I'd like to get a copy of Onda's "Dark Empire". Must be an awesome read…

Japan ‘s nuclear industry has been exposed for using illegal workers at nearly all of it’s nuclear power stations, usually saving these sub-contrac­t workers to avoid the Employment Security Law which is designed to ensure proper working conditions are in place.

    The commission has been discussing ways to strengthen security at nuclear facilities in light of recommenda­tions from the Internatio­nal Atomic Energy Agency.The background checks may cover criminal records and financial situations such as loan balances. Many of the sub-contrac­t workers have been found to be affiliated with a variety of internatio­nal criminal groups, most notably the Yakuza, a Japanese crime syndicate.­..
