The Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun stated that Tepco told the Japanese government already last Monday that securing the Fukushima Plant would probably not be possible and it would be best to let the workers leave the facility. According to the paper, Premier Naoto Kan responded saying that the latter was not an option and thus in effect signed the Fukushima 50′s death certificates. The paper says the information is very reliable and comes from a high ranking Tepco official.
TOKYO – News has come to light that the Japanese power company Tepco may have been careless with its employees.
German journalist Robert Hetkämper stated that for the past several years Tepco has been using homeless, un-educated, under-aged and migrant workers at their Fukushima plant. Hetkämper says that doctors have confirmed his findings and told the reporter that Tepco referred to its employees as ‘throw-away-staff’.

According to Hetkämper, once the doctors determined that employees had been exposed to too much radiation, the workers would simply be fired and new ones would be hired to take their place.
Tepco denies the allegation despite having a shady track record of integrity and honesty.
Furthermore, 33 safety violations were detected just days before the massive earthquake struck the plant.
According to experts who headed the investigation the plant lacked emergency power generators, pumps and other parts of the cooling system that proved faulty after the Tsunami destroyed the plant causing overheating and radioactive steam to be released into the air.

An interesting fact I learned when I was taking physics is that the human mind cannot comprehend numbers beyond 10k.
One of the problems we have when facing a number like "7.5M times the legal limit" is that people know it's a lot but there is no way to conceive it. We need something we can reference this to to understand the magnitude! If we did and could comprehend the damage then I'm sure many heads would turn and take notice.

I just want to say that i had a family member involved in the initial stages of this quake and tsunami in Japan and i tried to tell everyone it was waaaaaayyyy worse than what everyone said it was. Well as it always happens....we get told one thing in the beginning...then the truth comes out later. This is very unfortunate and sad that our governments will cover things up until the very last second.
