Fake questions on N-energy / Report finds 7 cases of events staged to promote nuclear power


A panel has confirmed seven instances of the government arranging to have people attending symposiums on nuclear energy ask questions that favor nuclear power generation.

In its final report released Friday, a third-party committee set up to investigate such questions said it had newly discovered four more cases, bringing the total to seven.

The committee, created under the Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry, investigated allegations that the ministry and the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) had asked electric power companies to arrange pro-nuclear energy questions during government-organized symposiums.
