Hosono regrets not having admitted nuclear meltdowns immediately

TOKYO, Japan - Japan's nuclear disaster minister Goshi Hosono (R) and Michael Sandel, a professor of political philosophy at Harvard University, shake hands after their discussion in Tokyo on May 29, 2012. Hosono said he regrets that the Japanese government did not admit the possibility of nuclear meltdowns at the crisis-hit Fukushima Daiichi plant shortly after the disaster was triggered by the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.
