Japanese nuclear firm admits error on radiation reading | World news | guardian.co.uk

Fresh doubt was cast on a Japanese firm's handling of the Fukushima nuclear crisis after officials admitted overstating high levels of radiation that prompted an evacuation.

Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) said initial reports of levels 10m times higher than normal in parts of the No 2 reactor were inaccurate, although it was unable to say by how much. The initial report said the worker who made the measurement, in a pool of water in the reactor's basement turbine building, had fled before taking a second reading.

The worker's discovery prompted another evacuation at the site, halting work to pump and store radioactive water that has built up in the turbine buildings of three of the plant's six reactors.

Tepco said later that the pool of water had been contaminated with radiation but the extremely high reading was a mistake. "The number is not credible," said a spokesman, Takashi Kurita. "We are very sorry." Kurita said officials were taking another sample to get accurate levels, but did not know when the results would be announced.

Well we do keep having mistakes, and things always turn out to be better than the mistake after an hour or two, Im vaguely suspicious this is a corporate PR strategy, If so management and PR firm need encasing in concrete and dropping into the deep ocean along with the waste.
