Expert plays down TEPCO ban of term 'meltdown' in Fukushima nuclear crisis –Panel head said U.S. nuclear regulators 'typically do not use the word meltdown' | 04 Sept 2016 | The head of a panel of international nuclear experts has played down the importance of the decision by Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) to not use the term “core meltdown” in describing the situation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex in the early days of the disaster in 2011…Dale Klein, the head of the five-expert panel called the Nuclear Reform Monitoring Committee overseeing TEPCO's nuclear safety efforts, spoke at a press conference on Friday. Klein, former U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission chairman, referred to the instruction by then President Masataka Shimizu to not use the term “core meltdown”, which was revealed in June by a third-party commission which had investigated the utility's handling of the nuclear disaster.
