Edano may take legal action to challenge Fukushima crisis report

Democratic Party Secretary General Yukio Edano attends a press conference in Tokyo on June 17, 2016. Edano said a report on how Tokyo Electric Power Co. handled the Fukushima nuclear disaster is inappropriate as it notes the then TEPCO chief instructed staff not to use the term "core meltdown" in describing the situation in the early days of the crisis due to pressure from the prime minister's office. Edano, then chief Cabinet secretary, said, "We may take legal action to challenge it." (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
