"Last month, when the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) announced it would move forward with its plan to construct an "ice wall" around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant's failed reactors, it seemed like a step backwards. "

"In 2012, it came to light that one such cost-cutting measure was the use of duct tape to seal leaking pipes within the plant."

They are smothered with censorship because there are billions of dollars involved, and the nuclear industry wants to hush it up as they did Chernobyl.
