Independent said that fear rises over the explosions at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. This is attributable to the Tokyo Electric Power Co. that has been accustomed to concealing facts, it added.

The company had so far been blamed for abnormal operations such as concealing accidents and rewriting the repair-and-check records, the paper said, charging that it does not have sound history in releasing facts.

The Guardian reported that the company has been blamed for its belated and insufficient information.
