A nuclear accident is much more likely to occur in one of their own power stations; rife with maintenance issues, falsification of test results, doctored safety videos, and bucket chemistry (literally).

They could learn a lot from how the USN manage their "kettles."

It took them more than three years to change the SWIFT address from Sanwa Bank to UFJ from their previous merger!

Don't you ever forget that Japan has a perfect record on food safety.

Hmmm, Snowbrand milk, E coli 157 in Osaka bento boxes, Fujiya bakery scandal, re-labelled beef and pork....
