Japan probe finds nuclear disaster response failed (AP)

TOKYO ? A Japanese government report has found that the response to the nuclear crisis that followed the March 11 tsunami was confused and filled with errors.

The report submitted Monday outlined a government investigation into the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. The investigation will be finished by mid-2012.

The report found workers at Tokyo Electric Power Co. were untrained to handle emergencies like the power shutdown that struck when the tsunami destroyed backup generators ? setting off the world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.

It also found that workers had mistakenly assumed an emergency cooling system had been working.
