TEc - Meet the Fukushima 50? No, you can't - The true heroes following the Nature-triggered nuclear accident

Revulsion is what I feel on reading this article.
Well over a year since the momentous event at Fukushima in the wake of a major natural calamity hardly any public recognition - endorsed first by Tepco management then by Japan's government - has gone to those 50 brave men.
It goes far to show the workings of Japan's establishment and wider group interests at the very top.
Yet Japan as a country, as a nation, as a technologically sophisticated entity made to kneel down by Mother Nature owes so very much to so very few.

It cannot be overstated that the 50 are the only heroes in the aftermath of the accident. Without their direct intervention - and exposure to unknown risks - much more serious consequences would have ensued.

I deem it highly relevant that the full story of what happened at Fukushima be told.
Praise and outward recognition should be lavishly heaped on the 50 lone men.
Also, official rebuke and public disapproval should fall on those who did not live up to their responsibilities.

All facts have by now been established.
Japan would feel much more at ease with itself if only objective recognition were placed where it falls due: the 50 men who had their hands on the job and their lives on the line and none other could fill in for them.

Least of all Tepco's top manager...or the PM of the day!
