TEPCO to disclose footage of Kan scolding officials in nuclear crisis
Tokyo Electric Power Co. plans to disclose in-house video footage recorded during the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster, including footage of then Prime Minister Naoto Kan fiercely scolding utility officials at its head office in Tokyo, a senior utility official said Wednesday.

The footage was recorded through the company's teleconference system that connected the head office and the nuclear complex in Fukushima Prefecture. The scene with Kan shows exchanges over what he believed was a request by the utility to withdraw all its workers from the plant at the height of the crisis.

The utility known as TEPCO has been reluctant to make the footage public, citing privacy concerns. But it has apparently now bowed to pressure from Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Yukio Edano, who has repeatedly called for the video footage to be disclosed.
