TEPCO and the National Japan Government continue to engage in a deliberate pattern of deception.

Ministry finds sloppy Fukushima dose monitoring

THE ASAHI SHIMBUN October 31, 2012

A government study has found poor monitoring of the radiation doses suffered by workers at the disaster site, citing 19 breaches including data input errors and cases of personnel not wearing one of two required dosimeters. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare reported the failings on Oct. 30, after studying dose records for hundreds of individuals employed in cleanup and stabilization work at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.

But the ministry admitted that the survey had a limited scope. The cases it identified may represent only the tip of an iceberg, and it offers little in either confirmation or rebuttal to those who have speculated about the widespread falsification of workers' dose readings.
