I've met him a couple of times. Here in Japan.

Here is a link to his works. http://business.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/interview/20121011/237930/

2012年に国会の東京電力福島原子力発電所事故調査委員会の最高技術責任者

In 2012, he was appointed as the Chief Technology Officer of the Parliament's investigation commission of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant accident.
