The report stated that there was no rise in radiation to the surrounding environment. It stated that there was no increase in health problems caused by radiation. The committee made positive statements regarding the company’s practices. The committee found the company to be safe.

The honest action would be to make a public declaration that the review found the company to be harmless. But if they did this, the current government would endanger themselves. It would show that they created public fear and hysteria based on lies. It would have meant that they stoked public fear as a political tool to get into power. If the government did nothing, the public would see this government as hypocrites,

This decision was to save face. If they did not force the company into a cleanup, the public would still fear radiation and environmental contamination.

This government is now seen as saviors of the public good (even though no harm was found).

This has nothing to do with the conscientious operation of an honest company. It has to do with political survival of self righteous liars who will destroy innocent entities – so that these politicians can get into power and keep it.
