Former plant chief who battled Fukushima disaster dies of cancer

[Extremist]

TOKYO (AFP) - The former boss of Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant, who stayed at his post to try to tame runaway reactors after the 2011 tsunami, died of cancer on Tuesday, the operator said.

Mr Masao Yoshida, 58, was at the power station on March 11, 2011, when towering waves swamped cooling systems and sparked meltdowns that released plumes of radiation. He led the subsequent effort to get the crippled complex under control, as workers battled frequent aftershocks to try to prevent the disaster worsening.

Government contingency plans revealed after the event showed how scientists feared a chain reaction if Fukushima spiralled out of control, a scenario that could have seen other nuclear plants engulfed and would have meant evacuating Tokyo.

Mr Yoshida's selfless work is contrasted in the public mind with the attitude of his employers, who seemed willing to abandon the complex and are popularly believed to have shirked their responsibility.

In Singapore all the bosses run out first in any emergency or disaster. Only their lowly staff are required to stay behind for emergency response work!!

Of course!

Standard Operating Procedures will see them run away and hide when any troubles approach.
On the other hand, they will be in the front when anything good is announced and that they are responsible for bring the good things

Dont believe me?

Just see LeongSam declaring that PAP bring all the good things to Singapore

Surely you all believe LeongSam even if you do not believe the PAP maggots and cockroaches

It was Yoshida’s own decision to disobey HQ orders to stop using seawater to cool the reactors. Instead he continued to do so and saved the active zones from overheating and exploding. Had he obeyed the order, the whole of north eastern Japan would possibly have been uninhabitable for decades, if not centuries.
