Abstract
- The article discusses the emergency response of Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) to damage at its Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant caused by a March, 2011 earthquake. TEPCO officials allowed pressure in one of its nuclear reactors to rise far above its designed tolerances before beginning to vent radioactive steam. The delay may have contributed to a subsequent explosion that released radioactive debris into the air.
