■Incompetent TEPCO should never be allowed to handle nuclear energy:
Has Tokyo Electric Power Co. learned nothing over the past two years and four months since the nuclear disaster started at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant?
We cannot help but ask this question in light of the utility’s appallingly shoddy handling of radioactive water that is leaking from the crippled plant into the sea. We must also note that the Nuclear Regulation Authority and the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, which are responsible for overseeing TEPCO’s operations, can hardly be said to be living up to their responsibilities.
