TEPCO to draft in extra workers, improve equipment at Fukushima

Surprise, surprise..... no worker accidentally switches off cooling pumps this time?

So, where are they gonna get these workers from? More long-term unemoyed numbskulls they can pay peanuts to? Of course!

More money to Yakuza companies, why don't you fix the problem? Tepco are still using the same jury rigged system they installed from day 1

If only they would regulate WHOM TEPCO could shore up the extra workers from! Until then we'll hear more stories about workers who accidentally shut things off, or disconnect the wrong pipe, and hear about ties to the Yakuza, etc.

Those poor sods being bribed with undoubtedly no enough money, to risk their lives. They'll be udertrained, unskilled, cause more errors which they'll be blamed for. TEPCO is killing people with its incompetence.

'Introduce proper communications and instructions' Introduce? If this wasn't TEPCO, I'd assume that was a mistake and the word they were looking for was 'improve'.

Dis, I am sure there must be more homeless and day labourers who would be willing to work for peanuts and in unsafe conditions... If not, perhaps some company will start a "training program" and hire some foreign, unkilled workers??

How does hiring more people improve equipment?

@tmarie - Unkilled workers? I'm sure you meant 'unskilled', but Unkilled works too. :-)

With TEPCO, I am sure the unskilled will not be the unkilled later! ;)

No one can say they grew up in a sterile room, never failing or making mistakes. Life is an ongoing process of trial and error.

Well, 2,5 years since 3/11. Lies, cheating, cost cutting, ... and still promises to improve the things.

When will J-Gov and the NRA understand that no trust nor credibility will be given to these clowns without sanctions?

We are talking about highly toxic material and long term contamination, not a few small paint pots left in the nature! Unbelievable!

Zombies are even cheaper than day laborers! More profit for the yaks!!
