The article mainly report what TEPCO has reported in 2006 at the international conference. It has reported that there is 10% of chance that the unexpectedly big tsunami comes to Fukushima nuclear power plant #1 within 50 years.
"So, TEPCO has actually estimated the possibility of getting hurt by tsunami, but did nothing for it?"
That would be the reaction of most people. However this article does not take a side of readers, TEPCO, nor the government at the beginning. It seems to be a real "report," stating things as the report from TEPCO in 2006 does and explaining it in an understandable way.
However in the last part, it introduces how those possibilities are estimated generally and leaves comment on how TEPCO did compared to the general idea. Also at last, the writer leaves a critical impression, reporting that TEPCO has been wounding up together within a company right now and not letting information public.
I also found a blog that might be talking about the same writer of this article. The blog writer states that the writer, Shunsuke Kimura is a person who writes articles that are 1. not only the direct information from press conference, 2. based on several kinds of information source, research, and analysis, taking several perspectives on the issue, and 3. not influenced by any companies or the government power, telling the truth.
