TEPCO could be nationalized reports the Guardian

If TEPCO is nationalized Japan must also have all of its assets and cash on hands since this accident will be a huge expense to Japan and the Japanese people. I do believe that all nuclear power plants, all over the world should be nationalized because a government is slightly more likely to better protect the public's health.  Yet, this would only be a first step, the next would be to make it illegal in the world to build new nuclear power plants; then finally, within a time frame, close the existing ones by developing viable alternatives.
