[Introduction] Core meltdowns occurred not only in the cores of nuclear power plant reactors, but also in the management of the troubled company TEPCO, officials from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the responsible department, nuclear power experts from the Nuclear Safety Commission and the National Security Agency, the stupid bankers who loaned 2 trillion yen to the nuclear accident company TEPCO but only tried their best to protect their creditor rights when its business was in crisis, and the politicians who were still immersed in crazy political struggles despite the unprecedented national crisis. They all fell into a "core meltdown" condition. I want to document, as best I can, the incompetence, defense, blame-shifting, and lethargy of these so-called elites, executives, and luminaries.
