TEPCO still obviously affected by organizational overconfidence

TEPCO officials have been flushed and squirming lately. There are serious leaks from previously undisclosed underground pits and on three separate occasions TEPCO workers have been forced to shut down critical cooling systems at Fukushima Daiichi in response to invasions by small rodents and mice.

The utility has also had to acknowledge its own mistakes in preparing for tsunamis and its crippling culture of complacency related to other potential natural disasters.  While TEPCO argues that the mistakes have been fixed and the complacency eradicated, they are still habitually slow to respond whenever their preparedness is questioned, leading many to believe that they are still very much affected by overconfidence.

Additionally, TEPCO still is refusing to pay over ten-and-a-half billion yen for decontamination work around the Fukushima Daiichi site. They have continually argued that they are under no legal obligation and assume the costs are covered by taxpayers by the special measures law.
