Investigation Finds 7 Cases Of NISA & Power Companies Faked Nuclear Support

An independent investigation of power companies and the regulatory agency NISA found a total of 7 situations where nuclear support was faked by power company employees.

All of the power companies named either have MOX plutonium mix fuel running in a reactor at the area in question or were attempting to do so. There were also influence attempts related to restarts. The companies were accused of influencing public opinion back in July, the investigation agreed that this was the case. NISA colluded with the power companies to have employees pose as average people in support of the nuclear power companies plans. One power company employee went so far as to pretend to be a farmer in a meeting. The employees did not disclose their relationship with the power companies and it is thought that these staged events heavily influenced the approval of the projects.

People familiar with the industry said this kind of thing has been going on for 20-30 years. Another known tactic is for employees to attend the meeting in large numbers in order to deny available seats to the public. This tactic being a method to push out any dissent and control the debate.

TEPCO has admitted it used employee influence tactics at meetings on the desired restart of Kashiwazaki-Kariwa after it was shut down due to damage from a 2007 earthquake.

Companies named in the investigation:
Kyushu Electric Power Co.’s Genkai plant
Shikoku Electric Power Co.’s Ikata plant
Chubu Electric Power Co.’s Hamaoka plant
Tohoku Electric Power Co.’s  Onagawa
Hokkaido Electric Power Co.’s Tomari
