also included is Hearing behind closed door to restart Oi nuclear power plants? Uploaded by pejorativeglut on Jan 30, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzMnHfhw88k On the 18th of January, Ministry of Trade, Economy and Industry had its Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency hold a public hearing where experts review the results of the stress tests regarding the Oi nuclear power plants operated by Kansai Electric Power Co. in Fukui prefecture(located in the central region of Japan's main island). Unlike the previous one, the Agency had the hearing closed to the publc. A group of Japanese citizens demanded that the Agency allow them to observe the hearing. Also, they demanded that the Agency get rid of three members of the hearing saying they received donations from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries that built the plants. The ageny turned down their demand and resumed the hearing in the other room while two members (Mr.Goto and Mr.Ino) refused to attend the hearing saying the hearing should be open to the public. At the end, only four of the original members remained in the hearing, and they came to conclusion that the results are reasonable. Strangely, almost all the major news media in Japan only reported that anti-nuclear protesters disrupted the hearing.
