Tokyo Electric Power Co. has been caught in another lie in its apology on its website for misleading a Diet panel that was investigating the 2011 accident at its Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.

TEPCO officials already had been forced to backtrack on telling a member of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission that the No. 1 reactor was too dark to allow for on-site inspection of the damage caused by the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami.

At a Feb. 7 Lower House Budget Committee session, Toshimitsu Motegi, the minister of economy, trade and industry, said in reference to the misleading comments by TEPCO officials, "If false information was given with the intent to mislead, it will be absolutely unforgivable."
