TEPCO's Fukushima Plant Head Leaves The Plant
TEPCO announced on November 28 that Masao Yoshida, head of Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, has fallen ill and been hospitalized; he will resign as the head of the plant as of December 1st.
Yoshida, head of Fukushima I Nuke Plant, issued a message to the plant workers as follows: "An illness was found during the medical exam, and I have no choice but to leave the plant, despite the on-going plant accident. To have to part with you like this is gut-wrenching, and I apologize from the bottom of my heart for any inconvenience that my leaving the post may cause."
As usual, TEPCO says it won't disclose what kind of illness that Yoshida suffers, or the cumulative radiation exposure he has received ever since March 11, as such information is "private".
