The head of the Nuclear Regulation Authority told Tepco's top management he questions their attitude toward decommissioning the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant and the company's ability to resume operating its other reactors.

"I feel a sense of danger," NRA Chairman Shunichi Tanaka said during a special meeting Monday with the top management of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.

Tanaka also said Tepco does "not seem to have the will to take the initiative" toward decommissioning the crippled nuclear power station that suffered three reactor meltdowns in March 2011.
