Japanese prime minister inspects nuclear pi
U$ioc
TOKAIMURA, Japan (AP) — Prime Minister Keizo
Obuchi inspected the site of Japan’s worst nuclear acci
dent yesterday as outrage swelled over growing evidence
the accident was caused by a stunning — and possibly
criminal — disregard of safety procedures.
“This accident has become a concern not only to
Japan but to the whole world,” Obuchi said after spend
ing 25 minutes in the Tokaimura nuclear complex. “I
wanted to come to the site as soon as I could."
Obuchi visited Tokaimura, 70 miles northeast of
Tokyo, as the investigation into the accident intensified
with police raids on the uranium-processing plant and
the Tokyo headquarters of the plant’s operator, JCO Co.
Authorities are searching for evidence of wrongdo
ing behind the Sept. 30 accident, which sent three work
ers to the hospital, forced the evacuation of surround
ing homes and kept hundreds of thousands locked in
their houses for fear of contamination.
Japanese media reported that the Science and Tech
nology Agency was considering revoking JCO’s operat
ing license after confirming that the company had ig
nored government-approved processing procedures.
Agency officials, however, said no decision would be
taken until the investigation was finished!
Police said late yesterday that ^bout 260 items were
seized in the raid on JCO’s Tokyo office and about 700
