This news from Japan: The Japanese government withdrew the business license of a uranium processing plant operator today after the country’s worst nuclear accident occurred at one of its plants last September. An official at the Science and Technology Agency said it had revoked the business license of JCO Company indefinitely, following investigations into the accident in which 440 people were exposed to radiation and one later died. It was the first time a firm has had its license taken away under Japan’s nuclear regulatory laws. The accident was triggered when JCO workers put nearly eight times the proper amount of condensed uranium into a mixing tank at a processing plant in Tokaimura.
