lol. The article in 2004 would have been Japan’s Nuclear problem, is President Bush partly to blame. What a crock. Presidents today get blamed for everything. Sarah better get used to it.
Toshiba, which was once close to General Electric, are now the owners of Westinghouse Nuclear, GE's main competitor. They have arguably the best nuclear engineers in the world. Westinghouse's offers to send expert assistance have been refused by both TEPCO and General Electric without comment.
I believe the offers to help are sincere and not motivated by any ulterior motives such as industrial espionage. The refusal of TEPCO and General Electric to accept this assistance is baffling.
