TEPCO president vows to responsibly scrap Fukushima reactors
The president of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc., the operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, has vowed to responsibly scrap the crippled reactors and revitalize the economies of its host communities ahead of the 10th anniversary of the accident.
In a recent online interview with Kyodo News, Tomoaki Kobayakawa said the utility is making all-out efforts in the decommissioning work and to achieve economic revitalization for the local communities. He also said radiation levels at the crisis-hit plant remain relatively stable.
