When the world was concerned about the Fukushima nuclear power plant in fear of the damage by radioactive materials, the CNN reported that the Japanese government is losing the confidence of the international community.

The New York Times on Mar. 16 reflected the view of the chief executive of the U.S. government that Japan's slow policy-making is becoming the cause of escalating the crisis.

The director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency said at a press conference on the same day that there is need to improve the quality and quantity of the information about the nuclear plants provided by the Japanese government through relevant communication system.

The Tokyo Shimbun of Japan said that the member nations of the IAEA are also blaming Japan for not providing enough information or making a belated offer.
