Tokyo Electric Power Co. (Tepco) has acknowledged for the first time that the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant could have been avoided. In a statement Oct. 12, Tepco's internal reform task force said the utility was aware safety improvements were necessary long before last year's quake and tsunami caused three catastrophic core meltdowns at the facility, but failed to act because it feared the political, economic and legal consequences of implementing new measures.
