UN & IAEA encourage Japan to restart nuclear

Former nuclear designer Masashi Goto warned in a recent interview that the IAEA has never  said anything about the safety of nuclear power itself ,  although they approved the stress tests carried out by Japan's nuclear safety agency.  Also, despite the IAEA saying that each country has to make its own decisions about the safety of its nuclear power stations, the Japanese government, electricity companies and nuclear safety agency are using the IAEA’s approval of the stress tests as their justification for restarting the reactors.

This news reminds us of when Tepco rushed out a report saying that the tsunami was the cause of the Fukushima nuclear disaster without a full investigation and handed it to the IAEA when they visited Fukushima last year.  The report was then broadcast to the world in the mainstream media as if tsunami was a reason for the disaster.  However, speculations and discussions about the reasons for the disaster continue,  and a few nuclear designers including Mr. Goto and Mr.Tanaka were invited to a  closed-door hearing on July 27, 2011 to discuss the causes, Tepco, the nuclear safety energy organization and JNES (a group of experts in accident analysis) could no longer deny that it had been the Magnitude-9 earthquake that had caused the meltdones.  They were unable even to present any proof of their statement that the tsunami had been the cause.
