Dissatisfaction of TEPCO affiliated company executives with the accident response and the structure of silence Before and after the accident Era

The complaints of TEPCO executives, who say that at the time of the accident they were instructed to gather people, even yakuza, are not limited to personal complaints. In the response to the nuclear accident, no means were questioned on the grounds that it was an emergency, and only verbal instructions fell on the site, leaving no record and no responsibility. The front companies and routes for gathering people outside the official subcontracting structure functioned as a tacit understanding that everyone knew but no one spoke of. However, as the accident came to a close, TEPCO itself rapidly distanced itself and took the attitude that it had nothing to do with the accident. No apologies or explanations were offered, and only those on the ground who had taken on the dirty work were forced to bear the shadow of responsibility. This dissatisfaction is discussed at the bar because it cannot be spoken of in an official setting, nor can it be documented. This narrative, in which
resignation and fatigue take precedence over accusations, quietly demonstrates that the nuclear accident was not only a technical failure, but also a problem of an organizational structure that did not remember decisions made during an emergency and did not accept responsibility.
