Kaieda cites poor communication in nuclear crisis
A former cabinet minister says communication problems were behind the government's failure to declare a state of emergency quickly after the start of last year's Fukushima nuclear accident.

Banri Kaieda, who was Economy, Trade and Industry Minister during the crisis, testified on Thursday at a Diet committee investigating the government's initial response last year.

Kaieda also recalled an utter lack of information sharing among officials. He said it seemed as if a game of Chinese whispers was going on between the prime minister's office, Tokyo Electric Power Company, and staff at the Fukushima power plant.

Total disconnect. The actual plant tech. operators were left unguided at the crucial point when the reactors could have been saved from meltdown. Litigation would seem to be indicated but I expect it will be slow in coming. Some lawsuits have been filed. I don't know much about the japanese system of law.

Maybe someone from japan could fill us in..
